It was absolutely beautiful this morning too. Sun shining brightly, air clear and crisp with just a slight chill. I was a little cool starting out but once I got warmed up I was completely comfortable.

Just thought I'd share!
Congrats, and don't burn yourself out too quick... allow yourself some recovery. 3 days a week is more than enough to start with. I would suggest doing another 3 day week next week, then week after that bump up to 4, or possibly 5.

Pretty soon you'll find yourself having a crappy day when you DON'T ride in, and you will also start looking for more scenic, longer routes to get to work.
