3.2 miles...but about half of a mile is across a bridge. The problem there is that one of the main bridges half a mile away is currently closed, so I get to deal with a ton of traffic if I travel from 7:30am to 9am...but it's still only 13-15 mins.

Why only two days per week??

Today I rode 3 miles to my office, dropped off my backpack and did a couple fast laps of Central Park before riding back to the office. :)

I have to pick up my son after school on alternating days with my wife so she can go to the gym. Marriage is all about compromise. ;)

Leave your car at this school, ride from there and back. :D Oh and get teh wife on a bike so she can ditch the gym. Marriage also about, err, subtle manipulation. ;)

65mi (80-100 mins) each way. One more year of school then I'll be relocating to wherever I end up taking a full-time position.
