Made the commute to work/campus for the first time last Saturday. Everything went surprisingly well and took much less time than I expected.  The ride is 6 miles each way, reasonably flat and avoids being on really busy roads for the most part. Check out the map below.
Allegro to UTD - 6.0 mi
Unfortunately you can’t see much of the detail since I don’t have a premium account on Flickr, but you get the idea. Its exactly 6.0 miles. Only takes about 30 minutes, looking forward to doing this at least twice a week from now on.

Edit: Unfortunately on the way home I was stopped by a flat tire. Thankfully Luke and “the Jetta”  were able to come rescue me. Really irritated since I was on track to make it home in less than 30 minutes.  Oh well, this is probably as good a time as any to do a complete overhaul. The commute was a good shake-down, lots of things need tending to.
