The Bucket List Thread!

[AnthonyGerrard]

4 miles each way commute for me - on a cycle. I love it, though it can be a bit hairy, even on quietish roads.

9 miles via bus, I would love to do it Via Bike in the summer though,

Will add it to my "To Do List"

When I first started work I did 12 miles each way to work and back by bike, come on Connor your only a young man

Ps Connor has derailed his own thread

 

[ConnorGiles]

I will go by bike one day Brian, But that day is not today!

I don't believe I have derailed the thread, People are still welcome to post their bucket lists and we can have a chat about them - I'm a social guy, and I didn't make this thread to just post your bucket lists and leave it at that

But feel free to do that if you don't want to chat about them.

I was talking about the fact that the thread now appears to be discussing commuting

In relation to someone's bucket list - I was talking about commuting through america and we got talking. Oh conversations do have a tendency to get away from me ha ha!

 

[Frothingslosh]

Actually, that's probably my fault. Sorry.

 

[ConnorGiles]

Don't worry about it mate, I enjoyed our chat!

#2 is absolutely a must-do. I drove from DC to Seattle, and while the Great Plains bored me to tears, the rest of the drive was pretty amazing. Going from the swamps of DC (ugh) to the Appalaichans to the midwest, through the Badlands (which are incredible) was cool enough, but seeing the Rockies slowly resove from a dim shadow in the distance into a giant purple wall you know full well is still hundreds of miles away is just awe-inspiring.

Then driving through the Rockies is incredible, but even that has nothing on driving through redwood country and then up the Pacific coast up through the Cascades.

That's really what I want to see, the Rockies and the mountains appearing in the distance. I drove from DC to Chicago so far and the Midwest is incredibly boring but I'm betting the drive after that will be awesome.

Yeah, if you can arrange to sleep through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and the Great Plains, do so. Driving through a thousand miles of cornfields gives a whole new meaning to the word 'tedious'.
