Taking the Spyder to work for the first time today. I'm sure it will make woking a lot harder knowing that my Spyder is right outside the door, calling to me to go riding. I'm planning on taking the "long" way home after work. At least 30 or 40 extra miles.

My ryde for work is 120 smyles round trip... Makes the trek much more enjoyable...

Yesterday was a nice 78 degrees with low humidity... a rare Memphis in August ocurrance when on Tuesday it was 98 with high humidity (felt like 105). Even if it was only 30 miles, great day! And today we are having the same temps, plus we are having outside festivities so a lot of co-workers doing our own "bike day":firstplace:

I rode this morning. The ryde home will not be pleasant at 95 degrees, but the ryde in was nice.
its 60+ round trip.

Usually bike gets pretty warm in rush hour home commute.

I did the commute thing on the :spyder2: since 2008. 40 miles round trip daily--before any sightseeing kicked in. It made going to, and coming home from work much more bearable.

You are also going to end up with the "rockstar" thing when you first show up with your :ani29:--so be prepared to answer lots of questions from fellow workers. :thumbup:

Did you ever take a 275 mile trip to buy gas?? Several times??? :D

:opps: I haven't... :opps: YET!! :thumbup:

We've got about a 28 mile trip out to Town for banking and shopping. I regularly turn that into a 50 mile excursion...
"But Honey! It took me so long because it was just so busy out there! :shocked: " (I practice that in the mirror! :roflblack:)

It's funny how BOTH of my Spyders get lost going home from work.

It's 11 miles to work in the morning, but it's always 30-100 to get home! Weird...:dontknow:

If you left a bit earlier to go to work... I bet that you could find a great place for coffee that's only about 35 miles out of the way... ;) :thumbup:

We live on the outskirts of Ottawa where there are lakes, hills, & country roads everywhere - it is not uncommon for my drive to work to take 2 to 3 hours instead of 20 minutes... some mornings are just too beautiful to waste indoors... so many roads so little time.

Good thing I own the business.
