W00t! I really enjoy my rides home. I work late hours so it's always after 9 pm and there's almost no traffic. The one thing I learned is that I didn't like toting clothes back and forth to work. I leave a set of clothes and a towel for showering at work. I also discovered that if you shower before you have cooled down, you sweat up your work clothes. I try to have a glass of water and read email for 20 minutes and then go shower.
I'm excited about getting regular exercise all winter :-)
