Show us a map of your commute
Borrowing a great idea from the C&V forum...... Show us a map of your commute.
Here's mine. 11 miles one way from Fort Hunt, VA to Arlington, VA.

That must be a beautiful ride. Very scenic. Mine is just full of 4-5 lane 35-45mph roads.

I agree with cyclist5 look at all the greenery on that map. Mine has NO greenery! LOL. I was going to put my map up until I realized isn't this telling people where you live?

You could always trim the first (and last) 1/2 mile or so to obfuscate your home and work addresses.

A mere 1.25 miles, almost no traffic, but I do see bears fairly often...that keeps you on your toes.

I envy some of you. My commute is 7-8 miles all urban, dirty, stinky, horrible pavement, lots of traffic. I see dead squirrels often...

I wanted to add that until I started commuting I had no idea that bunnies lived near the railroad tracks. I can see their point. Behind 8 ft fences and plenty of grass and hiding places. One day someone left a basket full of carrots for them.

Obfuscated my starting point, but this is basically it.

Taken my ride off. Lets just say its boring with no tree except near the RR where I get to see bunnies every morning. They are so cute. Cotton tails. I do get to see the sun rise though and its breath taking.

Here's mine, less than 4 miles and totally flat. Sometimes I head east for a loop through a couple of parks and push up the hills.
