First Commute...

6:00 AM, 70-75ºF 12 miles, 64 minutes, @ 90 rpm.

Too bad I forgot to pack my headlight for my return trip. Now I have to bum a ride home.

Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
I wasn't really tired when I arrived at work.
I wasn't too sweaty, either, but when the summer moisture comes in July, it will be a different story, I'm sure!

Felt sleepy about mid-day, but that's just cause I was out til 1:00 AM.

Congrats and welcome to the HHCMF (Happy Healthy Commuting Mutha F*ckers) club! We take great pride in our well defined muscular legs and show them off to the opposite sex causing them to swoon with lust. We enjoy making cars eat our pollution free dust as we laughingly ride past the long lines at the gas stations.
