morning bike commute

Took a new route to work today. Through the Garden of the Gods, down 31st street, then down Garden of the Gods road to the Sinton Trail. Takes a little longer (40 minutes vs 28 minutes on my normal route) but there's much less traffic and much more scenery so I'll probably use this route from now on. That time will drop to around 36 minutes once I get into a little better biking shape and Sinton trail is open the entire way. A lot more climbing makes for a better workout, which I'm not really looking for on my way to work but I shouldn't whine about that. The real bonus will be on the way home, when the route takes me directly past Trinity Brewing (brownie - 1, yeti - 0) and then past some sweet bouldering spots in the Garden!
