New Route

(View large)
So I discovered a much faster "express" commute home now - see the yellow line on the map. By taking 100 Ave. from 102 St. to 121 St., I bypass a great deal of lights and stop signs. Traffic is a bit heavier along this route, but the lanes are wide enough to pass on the right when needed. It takes just 15 minutes to bike home via this route.
I haven't tried biking to work this way yet, but I'm not sure I would want to - traffic along 102 Ave. is much heavier and trickier. And I still like taking the valley route and "lungbuster hill" in the morning.
Jenn and I did a short stint of house touring on Sunday. Nothing really "wow" yet but one house was pretty promising. Another one would have been promising, too, if not for a giant horizontal crack in the foundation... We're going for another round on Saturday. Fun times!
