SVOBoy, thanks for the reply. My daily commute to work is 45% rural highway (Oregon Hwy 47N) 45%state highway (Oregon HWY 26, HWY217) and 10% surface street with lights (Hwy 99W). I ususally take off at 4:30am to miss traffic, and it take around an hour and 15 min. The drive home is a different route due to traffic patterns. Around 3pm, I will start out on HWY 99W, take off on a rural road (SW Sholls Sherwood rd) to HWY 210 then to HWY 219. Then I take a cut off to Forest Hills Golf course, and head north into Forest Grove, OR where I meet up with HWY 47S, to HWY 26, to HWY 47N. This return route has only3 stop lights, and 2 stop signs. The only traffic I see on this route is farm equipment. Basically 130 Miles round trip per day.
I work in this area Google Maps and live in this area Google Maps

I start out a 450ft in elevation, raise up to 1100 ft, then down to 50 ft, and back.
Long winded, sorry.
