I finally sucked it up and did it.

Slightly back on topic...he's a commuter too. 65 miles each way and he typically does at least two-three round trips per week!

65 miles EACH WAY??? 130 miles a DAY???? Holy smokies!

Jeez, I'm not going to complain anymore. Now I feel like a wimp.


Nice picture, btw. What a cute shot!! And the 508 on a fixie. Man- he's got some major cojones! Wowzie!

Yes! He just left work a few minutes ago...I still have an hour of work left, I'll go home, change and then head south to meet him and still get a good two hours in. He's a nut.

Really though, as an ultracyclist he needs the miles and it's a great way to get them in. He's doing Race Across the West in June (first 1000 miles of RAAM...he did RAAM on a two person team last year) and a bunch of double centuries and brevets before that.

Thanks for the compliment on the picture. It was taken by Terry Zmrhal, the race director of RAAM who crewed with me on Furnace Creek 508.

That is one awesome commute! You need to start a bike club I had one but it fizzled out this year and I had one boy last year so maybe next year.You have enough miles for great traing. Congratulations!

Tri Girl,

I just started commuting again (today!), and my first winter commute. I'm at around 29-30 miles each way. I did mine in about 2 hours 10 min.

I agree with everything you've written and burned 1100 calories this morning and have been famished since. I was worried about my lighting but I didn't have a problem with people seeing me.

Keep us updated, it's nice to know that someone is in the same boat!
