Though I haven't used it recently - with morning light arriving later these days - I do now have a bike/train route through the park that works quite well and isn't as complicated as the one I experimented with before. I take a park trail that follows the wiley Wissahickon creek (about a 20 minute ride from one end to the other going fast), and then catch regional rail at the other end for a 10-minute ride to work. Then there's a 15-minute walk from the station to the school.
I wonder what people in their traffic jams would give to spend just 20 minutes rambling through the woods beside the creek's rapids. I consider myself lucky to have this option. I don't know if chilly weather will slow down my time at all, and I worry about being late if there's ever a mishap in one leg of the journey. But, I may try again to enjoy the route before it truly gets too cold or dark or both. Braving a little fall air in the morning can me feel strong and tough! Then a downhill coast in the afternoon is a sweet reward after a long day!
