Thanks everyone! I know I enjoyed my ride so much today, that I'm excited to do it again tomorrow. After work, my friend and I are going to do a longer ride, so that will be fun. 
I just feel better knowing that I'm not adding to the crap in the air and that I'm doing something for me. I really do think I'll be keeping this up. Now, I just have to figure out if I want to commute on my snazzy new road bike or if I want to reclaim and old Trek Mountain track from my 15 yo's boyfriend and use that to commute. Decisions, Decisions! 
WackyJacky - if it makes you feel any better, it drizzled on me this morning - and rain in California in the summer is very unusual. I just decided to ride through it. I say go for it! If you plan too long, you'll plan yourself out of it. Although I am making a list of things to bring into the office to stay here - like a hair dryer, just in case.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!
