My first commute ever was on Tuesday - today is my 2nd. I'm about 8.5 miles from work - today it took 45 minutes.

I live in austin, so it's still t-shirt weather here (really nice). I've LOVED riding in - it's a great feeling pulling up to the office with a huge sense of accomplishment. On Tuesday I took the bus home because it was dark and I don't know how comfortable I am with that, but today I'm hoping to leave before it's too late.
