Hey everybody!
I'm more or less new to BikeForum and I already think it's great. I have been training for the MS150 ride which is from Houston, TX to Austin, TX (182 miles)… and that lead me to BikeForum and all its great info… which lead me to the commuter thread… which lead me to TODAY! Today was my first commute ever! I must say it was great. I dress for the ride home this evening which made the ride this morning a bit brisk! The weather was great 61F and not a cloud in the sky. I have to admit I was late to work because I had to backtrack three times. Some of the road signs on my ride are misleading or gone! It took me an hour to complete my ten mile ride but I can shave that down to 45 minutes easy! Why because most of the ride to work is down hill. This afternoon will be a different story. My goal is to ride three days a week. I seriously need to tune my commuter!
Thanks to all for showing me a better way.
