Rode to Work Today, SD Rando Ride Tomorrow

Last night I pumped $4.70 per gallon gasoline into my vehicle and resolved to ride to work. I figure that pedaling the 40 mile round trip commute now saves me about $9.40 in gas alone.


This morning's ride in was delightful. My basic route is Chase, La Mesa Blvd., El Cajon Blvd, Park Ave, and the only drawback is that there's a lot of stopping at signals so it takes 1 hour and 20 minutes on average to cover the 20 miles. I park my bike in my office then walk over to a gym that I joined to shower and change. I like the morning ride a lot better than the afternoon, but maybe I'll get used to it.


Tomorrow I'll be joining the San Diego Randonneurs for a 151km Bay and Ocean Populaire. Should be lovely!
