It was my first commute in today, woohoo! Well technically a split commute since to ride the whole way in would be about 18-20 miles. So I drove 1/2 way and road 1/2 way, hopefully I'll drive less and less the more I do this.

I also got lost a bit (should have driven the route first I guess) but luckily found my way back on track, added about 3 miles onto my estimate.

My workplace has allowed me to keep my bike in my office which is nice (so I can gaze lovingly at it while I type this....I mean so it stays dry/doesn't get stolen ). The guy in the office next to me said he was jealous of me for riding in and is thinking of doing it too!

So overall it has been a good start to commuting, I want to thank everyone who posts in this commuting forum, I've gotten alot of great ideas and encouragment from everyone's experiences.
