Hi Mel, and welcome!

So, I went back and got my Bianchi Imola there. I got a great deal on it since the bike is an '03. I've also put a bunch of miles on it, especially for being a biking semi-newbie who hasn't ridden in a long time.
Congrats on the new bike ! May you have many long and happy miles together.

In fact, yesterday, my hubby and I decided we'd ride up to his work since he's now considering bike commuting. So we rode from Mtn View to his work in Redwood City. All in all, 26 miles, which is the longest and farthest I've ever ridden. The headwind on the way back really really really _sucked_. :P
LOL, headwinds Just remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Where in RWC does your husband work? I work in RWC off of Seaport Drive (which is Woodside Road until you cross under 101, on the bay side of 101 the name changes to Seaport). I've resolved to start commuting from my home in Union City across the Dumbarton, 15 miles each way, starting March 1. I'm aiming for 2x a week for starters. We'll see if I can manage that

Now, time to find a saddle that feels comfortable. :P
Oy, good luck - that's a road most of us have gone down !

- Jo.
