Good idea for the lunchtime biking--there are LOTS of trails in the vicinity that I've never explored (went on one, once, hated it and didn't go back.) and I don't even know where they go. The town where I work was designed to have walkable neighborhoods, but it was the 1965 idea of walkable, so the paths aren't great (and because the neighborhoods are supposed to be easily accessible with these paths, the roads are pretty awful--busy, fast, no shoulders). But at least there are paths. I'm also just a few miles from the start of the triathlon bike route, which would require a slightly longer than normal lunch break involving much sweatiness, but my coworkers are used to that from me.

I'll have to ask my boss about coming in late once in a while--I don't know if she'll go for it since technically she's already letting me come in late every day, but it's worth asking.
