Wow, thanks for the info folks!

I haven't thought a bunch about all of this yet so thanks for the ideas. I'm doing daily 20-45 minute rides in different conditions right now. It's just now starting to really heat up here in PHX so I'm trying to acclimate myself to the environment and the bike. I'm not sure how my body will respond to it just yet, so I'm taking it slow. Also tuning up the bike when I can. I'm going to have to use a pack, for now anyway. I like the drive at the begining of the week/end of the week idea. There is a shower (And swimming pool!) at work so showering/cooling off isn't an issue.

Thanks again all!

BTW, I ALWAYS wear eye protection when on the bike, but thanks for the reminder.
