It is the end of week 3 of being back in school and I have thus far managed to stick to my quota of riding to school 3 times a week. I love the commute! However that being said it has only rained one morning and I live in Portland. Which means I have really lucked out. It isn't that bad as long as I am prepared to get wet.
The ride takes me about 40 minutes and is about 15km's so yes seems slow but that includes all the stops with lights. I am still trying to find the most direct route but so far this is pretty good. Really makes me appreciate Portland's bike lanes and path system.

The commute stories continue:
Now into week 7 of school, having gotten into a minor basketball collision on my road bike two weeks ago and now the second flat in a week, my luck on a nice peaceful commute has gone. However I am still sticking it out! I have gotten some nice rain pants and new pedals on my bike so I still have some things to look forward to. I am getting frustrated with all the glass on the road but nothing I can really do on that end, may have to look into kevlar tire liners to prevent this from happening.
