Well, I'm proud to say that I did my first bike commute today. It wasn't a long one, but I did 2.5 miles to pick up my bus that drops me off about a quarter mile from work. The weather today was 24 degrees with just a hint of wind. I actually did a good job of layering on my torso, but not so much on my legs. I need a base layer that will keep me warmer. IT wasn't so bad when I was riding, but I was about 20 minutes early to the bus stop because I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss it. I wasn't sure of the exact pickup time, or how long it would take me to get there, so I made sure I had plenty of time. The only problem of course is that my legs froze while waiting. I did some clinching exercises that kept me warm.

Bus ride was unremarkable, except for busting my finger pretty bad trying to get the bike rack on the front of the bus down. That hurt with cold fingers.

Now I'm warm and toasty at work. I will definitely pick up some long underwear for monday's ride. The wife is picking me up today since we're having dinner in the area.
