Old-timer gets nervous!

GLC - I'm sure your new commute will be great! I'm guessing you'll be rolling out soon Maybe make yourself a checklist that you leave by the front door to make sure you have everything you need?

Good luck!

Its 10:30am here, so I think 7:30 where you are, so you are probably on the road. Wishing you a fabulous ride in.

My commute is only 8 miles one way, I finally did it for the first time just over a month ago. It took me forever to work up the nerve and I was intensely nervous about it, despite the fact I was regularly riding 16-20 miles in the morning before getting in my car to drive to work.

You can do it! I hope you're having fun on your commute.

UGH!!!

No commute today. OMG, but my life is in chaos right now! First, I couldn't find my cycling shoes. Then, I couldn't find my makeup. Then I couldn't find my lock for my locker. Cycling clothes? No idea. I went back and forth all night long... "ok, no jerseys, that's ok, here's a wool shirt I can wear" "make up, where's the box with my makeup in it? I can't take the big bag...where's my travel size set?". "Crap, I need a lock...can't find one, that's ok, I can just leave my sweaty clothes at my desk for one day". "SHOES! Ugh...where are my cycling shoes? Ok, I'll just use the road shoes and switch out the pedals. Damn...where are those other pedals?"

The pedals/shoes thing was the final straw! I decided to wait one more day to give me time to locate more stuff. I packed up my extra toiletries to leave at my desk, and a pair of shoes and spare undies... Got everything ready to drive in for one more day. This morning, I stumbled upon my shoes.

That's ok. I'm now all set to bike in tomorrow. This gives me time to scope out a second shower location that I heard about yesterday, too.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, everyone! I truly appreciate it!!

How frustrating to not be able to locate the things you need (unpacking and settling in can be such a pain). That's OK- it gives you one more day to bring things to work, scope out that new shower, and get ready for tomorrow. Let us know how it goes tomorrow!!!
