So I've owned my cx bike for about 4 mo. now & have wanted to ride to work but haven't been brave enough with it being in the 90s already by the time I leave for work around 4am. This week we've gotten a huge break in the weather so I took advantage...53 deg. at 3:30am...really enjoyed riding in the dark 10.67 miles. I'm gonna take tomorrow off (the 10 mi home was a little rough on the quads) but I'm excited about hitting it again Monday.

Its been a hot summer and all, but I doubt its been 90 degrees anywhere in North America at 4 AM.

But, anyways, congratualtions and I hope you've got some lights.

Congrats. 20 miles round trip is not easy, so well done.

yay! you're one of us now.... one of us.... one of us....

So did this first ride make you hopelessly addicted to bike commuting?

Can't say for sure about 4AM, but it was definitely over 90 as late/early as 1:30 AM in the DC area several times this summer. I believe the 'lows' those days were in the mid to high 80s. Can't say for sure, but wouldn't rule out 90s overnight in more southerly but still urban climes.

Congrats, now just keep on doing it!
