RE: Challenge: Your Ride

Martha at LivingAmongTourists posted a challenge to show your commute. This is sort of part of my commute. Like some others, the most direct route is only about 5 miles with two signal lights. I rarely take the most direct route. This is a road on the south side of campus which is heading west. This lead to, among other roads, Sheep Creek Road which heads out to the Goldstream Valley. This is my most common route home. EverydayRiding captured part of that ride on his GoPro a little over a month ago, so I'll just submit that as part of my commute. Is this cheating?

  1. Thanks, Richard! This may be the sweetest ride of all because of your extreme weather up there and the absolute joy of being able to finally get out and ride in such beautiful weather. Something so precious, I'm sure.

    Thanks for participating. I loved the video and it's not cheating, it's "added value". ;^ )

    1. The video was made near the beginning of May as our riding season is about five months. Maybe six if you are willing to push things a bit.

  2. Richard:

    I can only dream of a 5 mile commute with 2 signal lights. I don't see any snow

    1. I was very careful not to show any snow. There is still scattered bits of dirty snow in the deep, shadowy rifts but for the most part it's gone. Temperatures are in the low 70's (°F) and the mosquitoes are out in force.

      The long, scenic route I usually take going home is about 30 miles with 0 (that's ZERO as in none) signal lights and only one stop sign.

    1. Spring has come and gone and summer has arrived while I was up north in Barrow. White stuff as in sandy beaches?
