The Vita and I finally got to do the commute!
Ladies, the Vita and I finally got to make the partial commute. I had to get up at 5 am vs. 6, drove the first 25 miles and then biked the last 11. It was 47 degrees here in WI with a 12 mph north wind....but we were both pumped. The trip took me a full hour and the last hill before my office must have grown overnight. I felt comfortable and safe on the Vita, so it has proven to be the perfect choice for me and my route. I had a number of co-workers ask why my car was at the park...must say I was as proud as a peacock to say I had biked in. A few thought I was nuts, the same ones who can never figure out why I come in early to take a bike ride over lunch. The trip back was quicker, thanks to a tailwind. I can see doing this 3 times a week and found myself rescheduling appointments for next week so that I can. I was surprised at how hungry I was at lunch time and will need to stock my office with some healthy calorie dense food. Other than the the food thing I had manage to have all the grooming and clothing necessities on hand at work.
