That sounds like a wonderful first ride in!

Mine was 15 miles in and 15 miles home. The ride in was wonderful, I practically had the trails to myself, and besides getting lost once I got off the trail and on the streets, it was great. The ride home was a little tense on the busy streets to get to the trial, but a wonderful ride home also even in the heat. I was worried when I started home because I was so worn out for the day, but after a few minutes of riding I got my second wind.

I hope to do it 3-4 times a week going forward. It takes longer than driving in, but is so much more enjoyable!
