Day 137 - Early Morning Trip

Lincoln, NH view map

(868/365)
I started thinking about hitting the Kangamangus Highway for a morning commute last week, I'd only run the trip numbers a couple of times and decided to save this idea for a day that my wife planned to stay home so I didn't have the morning duty. Before I could even ask her when her next morning would be, she told me that she was taking our son on a field trip on Monday morning. Bingo! All I had to do was get up at 4am, get on the road by 4:45-5:00 and ride for 4 hours. I got on the road at 4:45, the exif says this photo was taken at 6:35 AM, which means I'd been riding for just under 2 hours (the 1/2 way mileage point was still another 30 or so miles away). It was 39F when I left and it only got colder as I made it to the mountains. I had my electric liner pretty much near full, overpowering the Strom's mediocre wattage. I arrived at work just before 9am, 4 hours and 220.6 miles later. I made three stops, this one, a gas stop, and a stop at McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin as I was starving towards the end. I'm not sure how I will top this commute!

I worked a little over 10 hours today, then took an hour long ride home.
