I do most of my riding before work.
+1
On most Wednesdays and Thursdays I get up at 4am, eat a small bowl cereal, shower and shave to absorb some heat, hop on the bike at 5am and join the club ride at 6:30am. I take my time getting there and stop for coffee on the way

I do the ride, ride home, shower again and get to work by 9am. I feel great the whole day and people at work don't even know I rode 40 miles that morning.
So if you can manage it, I highly recommend it. Especially with the good weather coming up.
