After a great weekend riding Manhattan and then the Five Boroughs Tour #3 son Brandon got the itch to bike commute. We picked our parking spot, (it's a drive/bike combo commute), at the Dunkin Donuts lot in Freetown Ma. We rode together for three miles and split off to our respective offices. Brandon had a 9 mile commute to Middleboro, and I had an additional 17 to Taunton.
Fortunately I have a shower at work and a tree to hang my freshly washed clothes. I hear grumbling once in a while from the smokers who are offended by wet, clean clothes hanging on a tree.
Our original plan was for me to ride the seventeen miles back to the car and drive back towards Brandon's building and pick him up on the road. I leave work at 4 he at 6, so I had more than enough time to plan and ride a route to his office and we could ride together to the car.
A new route can only mean photo ops. Here are a couple on the ride to Middleboro Ma.
At 6pm we left Middleboro for the ten mile rolling hills ride to East Freetown.
We got to the car around 7:15 and spotted Nephews Restaurant across the road. After calling our respective spouses we stopped in and split a pizza. The bill came to forty bucks. (including drinks).

I wish I could look that happy at 5am… Great job getting another bike commuter out there! I’ve tried bribing my friends with cases of beer and not even that works.
I like the llamas, or guanacos, or alpacas, or whatever South American camel they may be.
