The Daily Commute - 6/12

I made it to work in 32 minutes!



I changed the route slightly to avoid that big hill from Green Oaks to Sublett. In the process it shaved off about 0.4 miles. In addition, as you can tell from reviewing my spreadsheets, my average speed was up by about 2mph! Think that this is due mainly to better configuration of my bike. I raised the seat some more last night. I think I almost have it in the right position.

The increased speed alone would have saved me about 5 minutes, leaving about 2-3 minutes saved from adjusting the route (not to mention the saved effort). We will see how the ride home goes tonight.

The Ride Home -
Well, the wind is still a killer, however, it only took me 40mins to get home. When I did, the kids were in their pool in the back yard, so I jumped in with them! I am not riding tomorrow because we have a meal at my parents house in the evening.

Miscellaneous -
I registered for school tonight. I will be taking six hours in a ten week course. I should be able to finish by the end of next summer!
