Several days a week, I go to Willow Street Yoga's Takoma Park studio to teach or to take a class. Sometimes I ride the Metro down from Silver Spring. Other times I walk, which takes just under an hour. Usually, if I'm going from home, I drive.
Today, I decided to ride my bike. It was chilly - in the low 40's. Sunny, but with a chilly breeze. I wore a hat under my helmet, and gloves.
The trip took 21 minutes. There are some nasty hills along the way, so it's a good workout for legs and got my heart rate up.
This will likely become my normal mode of transportation for my Sunday classes, so long as the weather is decent. Since driving over and parking takes about 15 minutes, 21 minutes to ride over isn't adding much. I'll probably get a little faster as I get in better shape. Getting some cardio work in during time I'd be spending in transit anyway is a great plus.
