Skate to Work!

Finally skated to work this past week (Thursday) for the first time in a long time. It was work, and there are some dangerous parts, but it felt good.

Click on the first "Jul 02" link across the top to see my typical skate TO work, and on the second "Jul 02" link to see my skate FROM work. Note: Select only one at a time to see the map display.

Notice that the skate from work starts out with some really tough hill climbing in the first two miles. My old legs always feel it the next day!
