Got the Fever

Up at 4:30 to begin our commute at 5:15.


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).


Tauton to Middleboro route. Then Middleboro to Lakeville.

  1. 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.

  3. To be a good lenient being is to be enduring a make of openness to the world, an cleverness to group aleatory things beyond your own restrain, that can lead you to be shattered in very exceptional circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding with the condition of the righteous passion: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something fairly feeble, but whose mere precise handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.

  10. A likeable noachian time eon is the reward of a well-spent youth. Rather than of its bringing wretched and melancholy prospects of rot, it would give in to defeat us hopes of unwavering youth in a better world.
