100 miles a day

I started a new job 5 weeks ago which is quite some distance from my last place of employment. So instead of a 15 mile commute that only took me 20 minutes, I find myself now doing a 50 mile commute to San Jose in just under an hour. The upside is I get to spend more time on my motorcycle everyday. Seriously, the ride down 280 every morning is one of the most beautiful scenic routes I could take, especially this time of year. By the time I reach the highway the sun is just starting to warm the roads with its brilliance and the sky is full of vibrant colors.

I do admit it does get chilly, however, being witness to that kind of beauty every day is well worth the few moments of cold. The only down side is I now spend 2 hours a day on the road which gives me less time to spend with my amazing girlfriend Elise. She is one of the most understanding women I have know and I thank my lucky stars that we are in each others lives.
