My commutes these days have been hit and miss because I've been working
mostly from home the past three weeks. When I do ride into the office
(Redmond from Seattle), it's 4.5 miles going (using the MS bike shuttle to
get across the 520 bridge), and about 10 miles coming back home, taking the

Manny,
You should do the Santa Cruz 300k on the 11th. You'll kill it. Oh, that's

Good post William.My ride to work is about 17 miles, and I do it
everyday. The shortest route would be 12 miles but has heavy automobile

My commute is a little short of five, four of that on a path until I

Some years ago, before I retired, a local radio station interviewed me as
part of a public service effort to promote bike commuting. When they asked
why I did it, I said because I really enjoy it. They prompted me about
loosing weight, about heart health, about saving gas. When I kept saying

Thanks, William. So nice to see the simple joy of riding expressed.
My rides aren't usually that long, but I enjoy every one.

with a fair amount of the day spent in my windowless office. Normally my
commute is about 4 miles and I do it in my work clothes. I knew it was
