Hi, been a while

I have been in a grind of long commute and little hours for fun, no ecomodding, no creative stuff.
I trimmed the commute down every which way, I drive the beetle to the closest Sounder train station with the bike on the back.
With my MTB on the back like a ginormous drag chute, I get mid 40's at best.
No, I will not consider any other mounting system or try to load it in the back

I take the bike for the last 3 miles to work and for cardio. I spend an average of 75 miles a week on the bike, and hope to gear up and continue through the winter, except for snow and ice days.
