Now I miss the extra 11km each way and I am gaining weight.<br /><br />Sorry to hear you lost your job and commute... good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207584811195702217.post-43549913668956462442011-02-23T20:22:26.424-08:002011-02-23T20:22:26.424-08:00I enjoy my short 5 km commute to work because I ca...I enjoy my short 5 km commute to work because I can ride easily all winter and in inclement weather. When it is nice out, I can take a longer route along the canal. <br /><br />My winter bike has been good to me - she has one more month to go before she gets cleaned up and can rest for the summer.<br /><br />The spring bike is cleaned, oiled and ready to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207584811195702217.post-67484936271411543682011-02-22T19:43:25.272-08:002011-02-22T19:43:25.272-08:00Mine was, according to MapMyRide.com, about 7 and ...Mine was, according to MapMyRide.com, about 7 and a half miles, whatever that works out to in km... about 40 minutes (an hour in the winter, cause I couldn't take the Riverside path.) And yup, I thought it was just about perfect. <br /><br />And thanks for the sympathy, too, Alex! It _was_ a pretty awesome job. But, like many awesome jobs, didn't get the funding it needed/deserved.

Long enough to actually absorb the outdoors and get a workout, but not so long as to be tiring, sweaty or hard to schedule. Mine is 25km, and it is just way too easy to come up with an excuse ("too cold", "woke up too late", "gets dark too early", "have to run an errand after work", etc). <br /><br />And I'm really sorry you lost your best job ever. That sucks.<br /><br />- AAlex deVrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493376903958719831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207584811195702217.post-84975638667846657802011-02-22T14:14:06.400-08:002011-02-22T14:14:06.400-08:00Yeah, I actually am planning to pack up the laptop...Yeah, I actually am planning to pack up the laptop at some point and work from a coffeeshop somewhere. I did a little bit of that last Friday and it was good. I'll have to pick one a good distance from home. Maybe I'll go to Westboro!
