743.0. "Another commuter" by FDCV03::SAIZ () Wed Jun 22 1988 20:36

    I commute between Watertown and PKO, a distance of about 16 miles
    each way.  It is a very pleasant ride since I'm going against traffic
    in both directions.  The route I take is straight out 117 to 27.
    It has one very Big hill and many other smaller ones; it takes me
    about 1:10-1:15 hours in the morning and 1-1:10 hours in the afternoon
    depending on the weather, the traffic, which bike I ride, and the
    energy level.  I try to ride 3+ times per week and work on my hills,
    speed, and bike handling, (esp. with the crazy Mass. drivers-either
    they're trying to run over you or they're trying hard not to see
    you).
    
    I haven't seen anybody else riding this way in the morning so I
    assume that I'm the only one who rides out here.  I try to leave
    around 6am to be here by 7:15; and leave work by 5p to be home at
    a decent time.
    
    Any other Boston-PKO commuters?
