If you have to go to work, riding your bike there is the ONLY way to go! [sm=happybounce.gif]

Interesting that riding to work is a sorta big deal. It saves gas, easy to park...but it also gets in 2 freebie rides when you would normally be wasting time at a "commute". I have found some long ways to get home and some of them are just as quick but out of mainstream...and we all have an ego to nourish. John

I've been out a couple of times... hehehe

I'm beginning to understand that. And my Ego likes the looks I get, I guess people just don't expect to see a Woman riding a Harley.

And because of it you won't get a single thing done today!
I AM having a hard time keeping my concentration.

I rode it over to the bank at lunch, so now the afternoon is gonna REALLY drag. I think on the way home I'll take a detour and ride Five Mile Drive at the Point Defiance Park. That should be fun.

That's the way it is, riding season is too short here, I ride to work every single day except rain, I feel sad if I don't have my bike with me. Cheers Alex

I ride to work everyday its not raining, or snowing, today was the first day I rode in the morning not having to wear a jacket, just a short sleeve shirt, it felt good to have the wind on my pits.

Excellent, Smithers. Be careful, though; Five Mile has a bit of road that eats bicyclists, but only if they're doing something stupid and only if they're me.[:@]

Which way did you go to get to work? Backroads or (gasp!) HIGHWAY?!!?[]
