Mileage and the new office

Posted in House and Home at 8:39 pm by Jeremiah Wittevrongel

My company moved offices this spring, and now my commute is a little bit longer.  A direct route (if I drive / carpool) is just over 7km each way.  Pretty short and sweet still.

On the bike, I take a more roundabout route (to avoid as many crazy Calgary drivers as I can), which runs about 8.5km each way, with a few fun hills for good measure.  If all I do is ride to and from work Monday – Friday, that’s 85km / week on the bike.  Depending on the week, I’ll sometimes add another 20 – 30km on top of that (a single round trip to Bowness Park is 30km).

And in other news, my gas bill is down, but my grocery bill is up…
