From friends house to friends house, I've been doing this ~7 mile run for a few years. Most of the time I was on my old Roadmaster Mountain bike (the first time I could barely make it without stopping.. lol..). Now this feels more of a "sprint" rather than the "long ride" it used to be.
Since getting a road bike I've made the run a few times. I don't live in the burbs anymore so I don't get to ride it very often. This is my best time from Matteson to Homewood so far - consider it was midday with a handful of stops for traffic, and I'm comparing it to when I used to run it at 2am specifically to avoid the traffic, and my best time before was closer to 22 mins and I had a nice tailwind. Today a slight/chilly headwind. (42 degrees - 6mph NE wind)
At night I'll definitely get under 20 mins, my goal is under 18 mins... which one warm spring/summer night I should be able to pull off.
