First commute... done

I use endomondo to track my bike miles, pace, etc. Here is the workout I captured from the 6 mile partial commute: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/uSByR95WfSs .

The bike path we were on was really nice and peaceful. It had trees on both sides, a river to the right, and a railroad track to the left. Typical of a "Rails To Trails" initiative many states have going. There was only about 1 mile where we had to share a road with traffic and there was room for us to safely ride and not interfere with traffic. We did have to get in a turn left lane but we hammered on the pedals and didn't cause anybody a problem. We will search for ways to stay off roads without adding significant distance but even if we don't improve that stretch it is acceptable.

We didn't push the pace today as we know we didn't have showers at work, that's getting arranged for during lunch today.
