I could get it down to maybe 13 miles...but it would mean riding on some nasty busy streets. The 15 mile route is on a bike path almost door to door.
No showers at this facility...and I'm going back to wearing a suit now, rather than dress pants, shirt, maybe a tie if I felt like getting crazy. Any suggestions on keeping relatively fresh, IE not sweaty/nasty, after 15 miles? I'm sure this has been asked a million times...but oh well
13 miles is ideal but 15 is awesome, especially on a bike trail? are you kidding me? you lucky so-and-so ...!
stock up on clothes & food at work. politely push for some storage area for your stuff. your gonna sweat, so shower before leaving home, try to arrive before anyone else, you'll beat most of the traffic too. try to find a private bathroom. strip everything off & use diluted body wash & wash cloth. use diluted shampoo in a plastic cup for your hair. use 2 small hand towels to dry off. wear as little as possible so you have less to bag up & bring home
good luck!
