And at night, 6:00 till 7:00. (of course thats if it takes an hour).

I think thats off peak, no?
BD is a good source. People have complained about service, but my experience was great.

60 min for a 23 mile loaded commute is not very realistic at this point. Better allow yourself at least 1:45 to start.

My 20.6 mi commute avg. is 82 mins in, loaded and 75 mins on my fg 'light bike'. I've got a 500 ft drop on the way in. Homeward my avg is 88 mins loaded and 79 mins on my fg. The biggest section of the climb is in the last 7 miles homeward. I've got some traffic lights to deals with that slow me down, but overall it's pretty unencumbered.

Btw, nice choice on the Specialized.
