I have a short commute, approx 1 mile. But today's was awesome.

Pulled up to the light closest to my house. Saw a coworker at the light in his nice fancy SUV.

So he rolls down the window and I ask if he wants to race. He laughs and says that I'd probably beat him. He's just being nice because this is the only light between us and work, and there are no stop signs. But I accept the challenge anyway. (I know, it's my challenge and he didn't accept, but I did... :-) )

He beats me to the front gate, but cars must go about 1/4 mile out of their way to get to the parking lot in front of our building (we work in same building). I'm on a bike so I take a shortcut and stand up and start pedalin. He makes his last turn before the lot and he's in front of my by about 100 yards. We're 300 yards from the front door. I know I've got him beat cause he has to park and walk to the front door. But I keep pedalin anyway, and get to the front door at 25.5mph, and i get to the front door before he even shuts off his engine. Felt good.

I guess I should have answered that thread about "Do you commute to save time?" differently, since I've found out today that I'm faster to my desk than my driving coworkers.
