    It was good, but I am dreading the commute home (TOURISTS!!!!)

    Wow- now I understand those CX tires. That is one heck of a variable terrain commute with a LOT of narrow roads and some nice trail sections.

    I honestly don’t know if I’d do a long bike commute if I didn’t have the WO&D to keep me away from cars. I get scared, really scared some days on my 1.5 mile of major road- your roads don’t have the volume (and where they get close they have bike lanes) but they probably still have the driver-distraction, sun and weather-related issues.

    About 16-17 miles, depending on various shortcuts or longcuts. GoPro Hero (which I love, but you it’s hard to tell when it’s on or off when you’re riding…)

    hmm..seemed a ton longer. mine’s about 14, so i guess it’s comparable, just with far, far, far, far less navigation required.
    i’ve always been tempted by gopros, but i just can’t get behind it with so few navigation buttons and not even a little screen to review the still shots it can potentially take.

    That’s because I’m so slow! That video was at 5x speed and it’s almost 13 minutes long, so it’s over an hour of riding time. My front door to bike rack time this morning was probably 1:07 or so (not that I keep track).

    Wow, I’d need a map and directions just to get back and forth to work every day. I can only imagine how much trial and error went into optimizing your route.

    Beautiful trails; surprised how few people were on them given the nice weather.

    hahah, quicker than me, my excuse is that i had a heavy load this morning and it’s one long slight uphill all the way which is more annoying than it sounds.

    Oh, they’ll be out this afternoon, with armadas of strollers.

    Hey Greenbelt,

    You ran a couple red lights and stop signs. You need to reedit your video. ;)
