the weather here has been gorgeous, sunny, clear, highs in the lower 80s climbing to the upper 80s by Fri....now before ya'll smack me - the winds on the other hand, haven't been Out of the single digits since I can't even remember when. My commute home the last 2 nights has been in 35+ mph wind gusts! I would Love the rain if it meant the darn wind would just stop blowing!! I just keep telling myself it's a form of strength training (but it ain't working!)

If it helps any yellow...........
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

My plans include getting up waaaay too early and meet one of the members of the Velogirls at a BART station. The timing requires me to be 3 trains before I would normaly arrive at BART. Then we'll breeze through about 3 refresher stations. Will Trek wake up in time? will she fall over riding without adequate coffee? Will I chicken out at the first rain drop? Stay tuned.

Another tenth!
I went down one more street and added another tenth of a mile! My commute is now two miles each way! Twenty miles a week for me commuting instead of 16. Woohoo!
Yesterday I had to bring 3 quarts of half n half on the bike. Today I had 150 sugar cubes, a bowl and 50 packets of sweet n low. Prepping for tomorrow's volunteer breakfast.
By bringing some each day, I don't have to drive tomorrow.

I seriously think you need to write up a math word problem based on your commute and cargo.

Ride MTB approx 32miles a week to work
32 miles is an approx. could be more by a couple of miles each day.
Ride 4 days a week at 4 miles each way.
I enjoy it because it is less sitting in traffic and even though I have to pack my clothes and change at work incl.shower or babywipes it is still less hassle, learn to work with it. Hot on the way home, I wet down my headsweat with cold water before putting on my helmet and keeps me cool till I get home to strip down. I feel good that I am not contributing to the pollution in the air.
Wish I were in Holland or somewhere there were were no cars at times.
