Long Commute

Gray, ME view map

For most people that commute in a car, it is all about the quickest way to get to work. Commuting on a motorcycle is a whole different experience (for me). I find myself trying out different routes, looking for a longer ride in. This morning, I was able to stretch my 'normal' 17 mile, 25 min commute into a 129 mile, 2 hour 45 min commute by way of Gray, Maine. Even though I left with a thick frost on the cars (in our driveway, the bike is garaged) and temps about 30, I had a blast (literally).

People at work really didn't get it ("Why are you trying for a longer drive?").

This is the only shot I took on the trip at the service station on Rte 95 South in Maine, just south of the Gray Maine On Ramp.

I wanted to find a landmark to capture in the bike, but at the time I was a bit cold and wanted to get back on the bike.

I'll be heading to Lewiston this Friday. But it will be in a car, I'm too old to handle the cold :)
Most make for a fun day at work when you can get a good ride in before working. Stay safe.

Most people won't get it! I bet you enjoy your day at work and look forward to your next 17 mile or 129 commute. Gray, Maine has some nice roads to check out. V
