Normally, though, it's between 45-55 minutes, regardless of how hard I push. I like to ride harder on the way in than on the way home. Both the heat and my exhaustion from the day make me want to just take it easy. Plus, more good-lookin' ladies in the park makes for a more scenic tour. :) The fastest I’ve ever made my trip was 40 minutes, but that was in a nasty thunderstorm during which I just pushed with everything I had.

I don't run red lights; well, if it's 0 dark:30 in the morning and no traffic but me on the road I will.
