I know I have to. Otherwise, I am sure I would regret it later when I sit
in the traffic.

It's such a beautiful thing to ride in early morning on a quiet country road
with that bit of haze hovering in the farm field and fresh sun lights
gentally passing through trees.
By 7:30, traffic starts to line up even on these back country roads. Today
seems to be particularly bad. Not sure why. But, passing by the long line of
cars always makes me feel so proud and lucky.
Pedaling 42 miles, covering 36 roads and passing 3 towns, it can't be better
than starting a day like this. Such a commute normally takes me less than
two and a half hours. My record so far is two hours twenty minutes. After a
relaxing shower, I am sitting in front of my desk sipping coffee and it's 9:

sometimes people focus too much on training and racing. Good for you to have
a chance to set back and just enjoy the ride.

So many traffic lights, I hate to stop so frequently.
Another problem is that you have to clean up sweat and change clothes when
arrival at office. Kind of troublesome.

发帖数: 3290 | 7 Days are getting too short. Have to be mindful of the risk riding in the
dark while spending enough time in the office :). But, who knows? I might
just do it again next week. Just can't commit to it regularly now.

发帖数: 3290 | 10 Hehe, that's right. I've been learning to adapt my training to my ever
changing life schedule instead of the other way around. I guess that's the
difference between proffessional and amature. But, sometimes you can easily
focus too much on training and racing. For a short period, it's not
necessarily a bad thing either.

stressful. If you don't have shower at work, it's not pleasant.

发帖数: 19210 | 16 Lovely ride! And lovely write up too!
I always use my commute as part of my training. It's 52km a day, and if I'm
lucky, it would be 260km a week.
Another guy who works in the same building as me also rides on the same
route. He works on the trading floor and says that the morning ride gives
him enough endorphin to carry him through the stressful work during the day.
And then the ride home helps release the stress accumulated during the day.
