LBM,
I've got a pretty great situation at the moment. I'm working part-time and taking some classes down at Tech. Its a straight shot down Dekalb Ave., McLendon, Freedom Pkwy, Highland, Argonne (Krispy Kreme), and then 5th on into campus. Pretty much the PATH route without too much time on the actual trail.
Some afternoons I'll come back on Centennial through downtown then Edgewood, Euclid for a stop at Outback, and so forth back into the Dec. As my schedule shifts next semester I'll probably have to change my routes, but its been an awesome commute. Plus Manuals is almost at the halfway point, so I can always take a mid-ride break if I need to.
