Hello from Florida
Hello Everyone! My name is Tim and I am just getting into cycling for exercise and periodic commuting. I have had my bike for about a month and have put around 100 miles on it. I am enjoying it immensely.

Wow - 32 miles is quite a commute. I thought I had a long commute when I was still employed. It was only 29 miles round trip. 
Have fun and stay safe.

Ron,
Thanks! I am fortunate to have a co-worker who is a cyclist. He rode in with me as my wingman for my first commute last week and has been giving lots of tips and tricks. I am looking forward to this new challenge and adventure....
