edit: title should say 280, not 208.
Considering a new job, it's on Bowers by Great America, and I live where Bird Ave enters 280, but access to the Alma entrance to 87 N is also convenient.
I can go up 87, then 101, but I hear 101 is the most motorcycle-hostile road in the world (or close), even though it's a pretty short stint on 101, most of it would be on 87.
So how is 87 N for a commute in the morning, and southbound in the afternoons?
Or how does it compare to 280, which is my current commute, 280 from Bird to Magdalena is a fantastic commute, carpool lane most of the way, and no nasty interchanges to worry about.
Alternate routes would include taking 280N, and going up San Thomas or even Bowers.
Anybody have any advice there for a normal-hour commute there?
