y'all seem to forget that Chris' place is right off the greenway, so yeah from his house to Herndon shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. Hell from the toll road it takes me around 10 minutes to get to Allsports and that's with using 28 & Nokes.

Mike Wrote:6 miles at 12 miles per hour (yes, that is the average rate of speed once you pass mclean on the toll road, i've calculated it based on 5 commutes in a summer week) is 30 minutes. It's backed up from the 267/66 merge to Glebe Rd... that's what, 2-3 miles? I have a feeling that the surface streets are what takes you so long to get home.

It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Experiences... as in a few dozen.
5:30 != 4:55 I'm usually on 66 by then.

455 has slightly less traffic, but to dc in 30 minutes is impossible, sorry.

I think it's clear that Chris subscribes to the Paul Baz School of Time Measurement.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Also, since we're just bitching about traffic now:
Braddock road at 123, during class start/end times is a disaster. I live 6 miles from school and it took me over 40 minutes to get from my house to class. I was on the bike and riding the dotted white lines "in" whichever lane was faster the entire way, too. :thumbdown:
