This morning I bike commuted for the first time to my new job. 4.5 miles, flat. My bf works from home but decided he wanted a "commute" also so he rode with me to my work and then rode home before he started his work. He will try to do this often, or meet me at 5 to ride home with me.

I left at 7:15am, to be there at 8am. I wasn't sure how long it would take to get there. It only took 1/2 hr to ride. It was in the 20s, no wind. I bundled up and was pretty warm. I had my panniers loaded but I will leave some things at work (shoes, mug, extra can of soup for a lunch, etc.)

I'm planning on riding every day the weather is ok. Otherwise with a 9-5 sched I wouldn't get any other exercise.
