As gas prices climb and the desire to look good in summer clothes rears its ugly head, I'm trying to figure out how many days per week I'll try to commute this summer ... here in Wyo. it's so dadgum cold that I can only commit to commuting for six months, May-October.
My commute is 10 miles each way on the country road that's a third gravel, and takes 40-45 minutes each way. If I get on the crazy highway, I ride my road bike the 14 miles each way, and it takes a solid hour.
Right now, I'm going to shoot for commuting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, three out of five days. I might commute on my mountain bike on Sundays and add a 9-mile mtb loop to the 20-mile commute. But I'm getting a sit-on-top kayak this summer, so now the only question is whether to buy a trailer for my bike so I can drag it to the river...
