haven't been doing my usual commute but have been a combination roadie/transportation cyclist as of late. Been putting in lots of miles traveling to friends and family for overnights and visits sometimes getting rides home in cars, sometimes taking the train home, sometimes staying a night or two and then riding home or to see more friends.

tonight I actually did a legitimate "commute" to a teaching gig in Cambridge. Felt great to be back on the commuter after whipping around on the road bike. Was glad to have the "campus pedals" that are spd on one side and flat on the other. I didn't have my cleated shoes handy and was running late so I took off in sandals. I was hoping to use the commute as a "recovery" ride from 3 fast distance rides I did this weekend but I had to haul. got there in great time and had a beautiful evening ride home along the river.

just found out I'll be a New Yorker for 3 months starting in July. so I'll be commuting in Manhattan again and riding the park and doing the GWB rides to Jersey. Suggestions for road rides out of the city are welcome.
