way to go! I commute once a week when my knees are good (almost there again..sigh)... 20.2 miles each way... takes me an hour 20 min. I leave a wash cloth and towel in my office restroom as well as soap, makeup, a ponytail holder (preventing the "hair by helmet" look ) and just wash up when I get here... I also leave clothes here the night before I ride so I'm not in bike clothes all day... works out pretty well... and yep, I feel GREAT on the days I ride... if I sit in traffic it takes almost as long as if I ride...
