I use a head-set, both hands on the wheel.

    I do NOT use cruise control!

    Oh, and I drive with the window open. That might give me lower gas mileage, but it's worth it to keep me awake.

    I think it's easier to stay awake on a bike ride...

    Did ya do my cards this morning or do you have a crystal ball too? Exactly what I did this morning on the way to my ride in DE. Except the McD's. Blech.
    Yep, sang like a fool the whole way and drank a Pepper. Funny, I only started drinking those recently. Never liked them as a kid. I really wanted an A&W, but they only had diet. I was about to put the top down just to get enough air. Whew! Seriously sleepy for a while until I got my second wind.
