I am trying to commute once a week, on Fridays. Our school has a kind of year round schedule, so we started 3 weeks ago. It's fine in the mornings right now, but it was really, really hot coming home today- 99 the whole way way. Of course there's no shade in the desert and the asphalt radiates the heat back up. My commute is about 10 miles each way, and the last 3, I had to keep talking myself into going. At least it's not uphill.

Still working out the best way to get presentable for teaching after the morning ride in. I have been washing my hair in the sink (science classroom) and cleaning up and changing in the bathroom, but just found out the nurse's office has shower I could use. I think I would need to leave 10 minutes earlier to have a full-fledged shower though..... and I hate getting up early as it is.
