I would recommend that you get a job closer to home. That way the hours 
formerly spent commuting can be spent riding the Sprint on more 
interesting roads.

Oh, you wanted tire recommendations? I'm liking my Conti Road Attacks, 
but I haven't gone through a set yet so I can't tell you anything about 
wear. Plus my riding is nothing like yours. Mine is about 95% twisties, 
no commuting. (half mile commute, usually done walking or riding my 
bicycle)

Ok, so I wasn't any help at all. Signing off so I can go ride Hwy 36 
out to Ruth Lake. (Monday is my Sunday, because I work on Saturday)
