Routes/Commutes

Even though I live a whole 1.6 miles from work I like to call it a commute…sounds more impressive than the truth!

There are 2 routes I use to get to work, and 4 going home.  Below are the route distances and my speed records on them. 

To Work:

  1. 1.6 miles - 3:53 @ 24.7mph (max about 40mph)
                       3:52 @ 24.8mph (max 36mph) set 10/25/07
  2. 1.8 miles - 4:45 @ 22.7mph (max 52mph - steep hill)

From Work:

  1. 1.6 miles - 6:53 @ 13.9mph (max 23mph)
  2. 1.8 miles - 8:10 @ 13.2mph (max 23mph)
  3. 7.5 miles - 27:30 @ 16.4mph (max 42mph)
  4. 9.6 miles - 34:53 @ 16.5mph (max 42mph) - set 10/9/07
                       34:07 @ 16.9mph (max 42mph) set 10/22/07
                       33:55 @ 16.98mph (max 42mph) set 10/31/07

This is where my ”More Speed” title comes from.  The quest to go faster on the routes I ride.  If I’m not pushing myself I feel I’m letting myself down.
