Congrats on the steady commuting rhythm!

Since starting to regularly commute the last week of October of this year, I've logged 31 commutes (8 miles RT home to office to home). The commute has become the highlight of my day, regardless of weather. Like you, I'm always disappointed and feel like the day is incomplete if I have to drive to work.

I don't get to talk about it much at home to my wife. She's too far from the hospital to ride to her job and it gets dark too early for her to ride after work so hearing my endorphin-induced enthusiasm gets to be too much for her.

As to whether I have a goal, I think it would be to ride at least 25 days a month (I often go in to the office on weekends, too). We'll see how this works out but so far I'm really loving it. With my bike fully pimped out as a commuter with Arkel commuter bag, Specialized 'Fireball' headlights, 2 rear blinkies, I can ride home cautiously but pleasurably after our 5:30 pm sunsets.
