    Hip, hip, hooray for you!!!!!
    Congrats on your first commute. I'm glad that it all went very well, and hoping that you'll enjoy many more bike commutes in the future.

    BTW, Downy Wrinkle releaser is my favorite remedy to wrinkly clothes at work. Keep some in your desk/locker,etc and spray on if your clothes get wrinkly on the way to work.

    5 miles uphill in 35 minutes sounds pretty darn good to me. You should see the pathetic hills I run into that send my heart rate to 170.

    I can't believe you were more worried about stinking than cars!

    I know. Makeup too, don't forget. Gotta put my face on every morning.

    Here in Alb we actually do have good bike paths and bike lanes. Crossing major intersections is kind of nervewracking but I just make sure I am as visible as possible.

    Well, I am sure my heart rate will be right up with yours. Maybe I should put 911 on alert.
