The ride in to work was peaceful and quiet. For once, no dogs chasing me! I altered my route slightly. My new route has alittle more car traffic, but it goes through a higher end neighborhood. No potholes, no debris on the street and no loose dogs. My old route is shorter, 2 stray dogs that will chase, debris on street and all the potholes you want.
New route adds about a quarter mile to my commute but it's well worth it.
