I've been meaning to start commuting for a while now, and today was the day. Finally got my rack and panniers over the weekend, so no more excuses! Got everything packed and ready last night.

It was a beautiful morning. Mid 40's and only a slight breeze. I'm less than 2 miles from work, so I won't break my arm patting myself on the back, but it still felt pretty great to ride in.


I've already got a route picked out for the ride home that will take me a little farther so I can get some fitness in too.
