This was my innaugural ride from our new home, 7.8 miles gliding blissfully into my office. I hadn't realized how hilly my new neighborhood is. The first 3.5 miles have some significant climbs for not being warmed up yet. Anyhow, bicycle commuting was the reason that we moved in so close to work. So, I guess that I'm grateful.
And, the new commuter bike is fabulous. Really excellent.
