Trespassing
Very excited about my commute to my new temp job: four-and-a-half miles along shoreline, then a mad dash trespassing shortcut across a members-only country club to get to a 50-ft climb into work. I think a pool is in order: how soon will I get banned? (I start May 11). Question: will I get banned more quickly wearing a cycling kit or a doctor outfit? Or TWEED?
This is also the first time I have biked a significant distance (>3 miles) to a job at which I have to be dressed nicely. Decisions to make (interim decisions in bold):
1) Bike: Road bike speedy overkill? Beater undercranked unstealability? Slick-shod hardtail?
2) Shoes: Cheap but acceptable loafers with flats/loops? MTB SPDs? Race SPD-SLs? Dress shoes?
3) Clothing: Wear tie and mentally suppress sweat? Dress in gym stuff and change at work?
I’ve been told there are bike racks at work. Unfortunately, I got kicked out by staff on Saturday while biking around the facility looking for them. This may spawn an interesting series of events.
I hope I get a locker.
