 First commute of 2014
Feeling somewhat porky -pants have been feeling tighter. Chalk it up to collateral climatic and holiday excess. How could I not ride on a fine day? Struggling a bit with the goal to increase metabolic output, in an effort to offset recent caloric input. South winds had an effect on the return ride speed...

I expect to do 150 work commutes with at least 3,000 commuter miles. I am giving electric supplementation serious consideration, with a goal of making my commute time shorter. Perhaps at some point I will utilize a bike with an electric motor of some kind for work commutes -nothing is definite yet.
