replicating the commute

With the summer almost over and the nights starting to draw in it is time to start thinking about returning to commuting to work rather than rides after work to gain the maximum amount of daylight. My commute distance is 17 miles and this ride was just meant to be a "do a bit of exercise" and burn some calories ride and by coincidence it was the same distance which Did make me think of the cold, wet and dark commutes to come.
Ride 121
