The day before a brevet I either take it really slow or "cheat" and drive part way.
As "Utah" notes, you have a really long commute. Your "1/2" commutes are not much less than my full commute. I'm not sure that I could commute every day doing your full commute. I've cycle-commuted either to or from work every day since the end of 2003 (except a few weeks after Snowmageddon in 2010), mainly because I like it but partly because driving into downtown increases my stress level while cycling in decreases my stress level, and I found that I kept getting colds when I took the metro. Once you have it set in mind that that's how you're going to get to work, then there are days where you feel energetic and days where you feel draggy, but regardless you just get on your bike and ride in. I figure humans evolved to do a couple of hours of manual work a day so there's no reason I can't do it. Nick On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 10:27:30 PM UTC-4, Lungimsam wrote: > > Thanks, Nick!
