I took the plunge, took the 6 am train where I can load a bike (not on my regular 7 am) and worked until 5, then took off for my first ride home from work - 57 km and it was hot hot hot. Still felt the 200 k from the weekend in my legs.

Will try to do this once every week or 2. as long as it's light until 8 pm.

My coworkers all came to look at Fred who was sitting in our storage room instead of the bike rack outside, but I felt like a bit of a showoff leaving in all my gear. Got a comment in that direction too. They're just jealous.
