You can set a sphere around your house where it doesn't show your destination.

On the Strava website you can set up Privacy Zones. You enter the address you'd like to keep private and you can define the radius you'd like.

They are called privacy zones and basically hide your office and home within a radius of your choosing:

I'm afraid cycling has ruined me for driving. Yesterday I drove to work and grumbled the whole way home about being stuck in traffic on such a beautiful day. Today, I gotta ride home with a 50km/hr headwind. I'm going to grumble about that the whole way home too. But I think I would rather grumble about a headwind than wasting a beautiful afternoon.
Am I going to turn into one of those crazy riding in winter types?

You aren't stuck in traffic. You are traffic.

while I don't commute via bike in the winter time, i do have a fat bike, and riding in the winter is some kind of awesome.

I'm going to need to purchase a winter bike. I likely won't commute as often as I do now but I'd like to have the option and a road bike won't cut it. Path and road conditions are just too sketchy for 20+km in the morning.

Is the Glenmore Dam over the Elbow River a major cycling path? It's closing this fall for several years while they do some work on the dam. I was toying with the idea (not very seriously but maybe one day  ) of partially cycling to work and this would have been my preferred route. Not sure now how I would make it work now if I can't go over the dam.

I guess the detour is pretty brutal too. 1.8km. Not too bad on a bike but brutal for anyone walking to work.

Not to mention being pretty unappealing cycling along Glenmore, compared to cycling over the dam and up past the golf course.

Yeah, that's an ugly, noisy section of path.

I've commuted to work twice now and lived to tell the tale!
I did come home via the Glenmore dam route/Heritage park on the first day, but it added about 20 minutes to my ride and didn't seem to take much off in the way of roads (at least not the type of roads that I want to avoid).
Seems about 35-40 minutes is what I can do the commute in.
I'd love to be able to do it in 25 mins, but not sure if that is reasonable....
YTD: 53km! (according to Strava)

If you are going downtown a much better detour is to 5th st then to Stanley Park

What a nightmare ride home today.
It felt like no matter which direction i was traveling, I was riding into the heaviest wind.

Does anybody have a good site for wind forecast? If the wind is anything like this tomorrow morning I won't be riding.

Felt for all of you boys who had to ride into that beast today. It was a side wind for me, so it was moderately helpful, although I did not seem to have any PB's on Strava
