Started at 7:25 from my house, rode to rail station. 7.5 miles. With lights and stops took 30 min.

8:02 train arrives. 8:32 train arrives at my transit station.

Board second train at 8:33. Train sits for 15 min. Train arrives at my stop at about 9:00.

Take shower, change. Ride bike another mile or so to my office building. Arrive 9:25.

Arrive sweaty, missing belt, sock ripped when putting on.

It took 2 hours, with about 8 miles of bike riding.

Had I driven, would have been 20 to 25min.

Hopefully I can time the train switches better and that can shave some time off.
