Seeing as how I mostly work from home these days, I can't really ride to work.  

I'll take a ride just for the fun of it?

If that doesn't count, then it's up to the rest of you to cover for me.

I too work at home... kind of sad when I could be riding the bike to work...

So in participation of the ride to work day I rode to the nearest doughnut shop for a few holes :P which is 10 miles each way. And since I was out I took the scenic route which added another few miles. :)

I hope to get in a longer ride after work. :thumb:

i had my bike warming up in the driveway, intending on riding it, but i decided against it. too many things could go wrong. i've just recently been messing with the air-fuel ratio, and the idle speed was around 1800, so i decided i'd wait a few more days and troubleshoot more.

I also rode in this morning...more than normal amount of bikes parked in the motorcycle area...it was good to see...who knows if it was because of the day, or just coincidence, but good for everyone! :thumb:

Oh my god, you keep a detailed log book of ALL your rides????

I have a hard enough time remembering to keep my scuba diving log book up to date... :o

I can usually walk to work in 15 minutes. Occasionally, as i did today, i will get up early, leave early and ride streets and roads i know will not be affected by rush hour for awhile before heading to work.   :cheers:

I'm on vacation.  Eat your hearts out.  Getting up 5:30 am Thursday.  Should be able to do 300 miles.  Leaving at 6:00 am and back to 12:00 noon.  Gotta spend a little time with the family. I never know where I'm going.  Have been heading north lately.  I'll probably try northwest.

Hey try east... depending on where in Jersey... it could get very interesting after 0 - 70-80 miles....

I work at the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park, and live on the other side of downtown Vancouver.

This is my ride to work:

<-- click for larger image

When it's nice out, I usually "miss" my turn off on the one way road around the park, and take the nice scenic route all the way around along the water.

It's sooo beautiful! Really hard to actually make myself go into the office on nice days. Even though I adore my job, there are some days where I'd just rather be out riding! ;)

Maybe I should just leave work and go for a ride. No one is here anyway.

Wow Meighan, that is a beautiful place...  Its cool that you work in a aquarium too.  I'm alittle jealous... I love the water even more than riding. (hince the avatar)  However I ride to work everyday and today was no exception. :thumb:
