Way to go! Following up on Guitar Ted — you might be surprised at what you can find. I’ve been at my current job for almost four years and I’m still discovering new routes and shortcuts. Some of the non-road paths I’ve used include irrigation ditch roads, utility easements, a board over a creek, a break in a fence somewhere, the narrow space between commercial buildings, alleys, and concrete drainage culverts. I’ve used a railroad that crosses through a golf course and under a highway, riding on the crossties between the rails.

I think we picked the best time of the year to start commuting in VA. Its been in the 40’s and 50’s when we hit the road in the morning.

Unfortunately there is pretty much just two routes for us to take. We hit the less dangerous of the two so it’s not to bad.

Welcome to the “club”. Don’t forget to scope out any possible alternate routes. Your not limited to just “roads”.
