So, I tested my 11 mile route to work today. Not a bad ride at all. Very scenic. Only one section of a county road with no shoulder, but overall a decently safe commute.
Pictures follow:
This is just around the corner from my house. Lots of farmland out here still, though the nearby city is slowly encroaching.
Nice view of the road I ride for the first half of the ride.
The first of two rivers I cross…
Big Lake, Minnesota. Nice town.
And more fields…
Almost 6 miles into the commute…
And the second river I cross… the Mississippi!
Mississippi…
Still the Mississippi…
And last pic of the Mississippi…
You can see the rest of the pics on flickr.
I got a lot of sun today on my test ride, so I hope I’m up for my first day of commuting tomorrow… We’ll see.

And Now…
Nov 07: 246 lbs, 22%BF !!!!
WooooHoooooo! I’m within the Navy BF standards!
My weight went up, but I’m leaner overall, so I don’t mind that.
You gotta love the exercise from bicycle commuting…
