Well, the backpack is arriving today, so it looks like my first commute might be tomorrow. Weather forecast is perfect for the entire rest of the week. I stocked up on food yesterday (plus I have a Trader Joes literally steps from my office so I can always swing down there for anything I might want/need). Think I'll ride tomorrow, and then again on Friday.

My boss basically said I can come and go as I please. So far I've been working 8-4, working through lunch. I know I'll need to give myself at least an hour for the ride, so if I leave by 6:30, arrive here by 7:30 gives me plenty of time to shower and get settled into a routine.

Honestly ... looking at it all I'd be a fool NOT to commute by bike
