Thanks all for your comments and advice. I intend cycling to the LBS tomorrow (about 9 mile) and checking on the status of my new ride. Apparently its been delayed a couple of business day which is kinda a pain as I had a nice test ride planned for Sunday. However, I will pick up some energy type powder to add to my water bottle. If I accompany that with a clif bar type snack I am hoping I wont struggle as much.
I checked out the bicycle aspects of my new job and apparently there are showers for me and a cage area for bike storage. Im psyched to try and cycle in at least twice a week but I need a week to be approved for storage passkey etc...
LBS has a sale tomorrow - I will treat myself to a shirt or something seeing as I have to wait a few more days for "Christmas"..... ;-)
