Yeah this will be one of those sun baked roads. 1500' elevation so not bad. Start time is 9 am so it'll be warming up by then. Too bad it doesn't start at 6 haha.

It's possible and something I'll work on. I only live 1.5 miles from my office so I've extended it a bit. And I am on my gravel bike. I'll try airing down to increase rolling resistance.

My commute is 1.5 miles so I've already stretched it quite a bit. I'll keep working to find sensible routes around town.

Here's a promotional photo of the Voyageur. Not that 'factory' seat and handlebar heights matter too much, but it might give some idea for what Schwinn was going for with 'targeted bike fit' when...

Not sure if this would be helpful to you, but I have an '87 Voyageur and found the frame specs for it. The bike fit is definitely different than any of my other bikes.

Congrats on the purchase and enjoy!

How do you prep for your morning commute?

I have a very short commute (1 mile) compared to most of you. With that being said, I am cutting it close to being late into the office most days. My issue is that I enjoy my mornings and get busy...

I might start switching up the route though....
