I'm a teacher too, well actually a counselor. I give you credit for wanting to commute 23 miles. My commute now is 8 miles and due to car pooling my son, I can only do it once a week.

I just moved this week and my school will move over the summer. The route will be better, but it will be 13 miles. I am considering a bus to work and riding home. Our public buses just got bike racks attached in the past year. Is there some public trans you could take one way?
