7/12    I haven't commuted from the east bay in a really long time, if I
        were to drive from Concord to Mountain View during morning rush hour
        how early should I leave? I want to get there around 10:00 or 10:30.
        On a completely unrelated note, did you know you can actually break
        your arm while arm wrestling? this just happened to a friend of mine.
                \_ Commuting from Concord? Concord to Walnut Creek = 20 min.
                   then Walnut Creek to the Bridge = 20 min. then Bridge to
                   to SF = 10 min. Down 101 to Mt. view. 20 min? Sounds like
                                   \_ 45 minutes, not 20 min.
                  at least 1 hr 10 min with traffic, if you are lucky.
        \_ i would bet about 2 hours..
        \_ From North Oakland(claremont ave) to Palo Alto takes me
           40 minutes, without traffic (e.g. 930am), FWIW.
        \_ From North Oakland(claremont ave) to Palo Alto (San Antonio Rd)
           takes me 45 minutes, when there is no traffic (e.g. 930am).
           Taking dumbarton.
           Taking dumbarton. Avoid SF and Bay bridge, dont be stupid.
           You might be able to take 680 and 237, if you're very lucky.
