Holy Crap, I made it!

Guys! Guess what? I MADE IT TO WORK without being dead and things!

Turns out that the road users are *very* aware of you and not one of them did anything dickish. The route I took was full of false turns so the time taken to get here is about a few minutes more than it should be, but I think the next time I do it, I’ll be able to get my time under 30 minutes. The route is quite nice, especially the first couple of minutes when I’m barrelling through a wooded path.

The real challenge of course it getting home because there’s an awful lot more up hill and we all know that London Transport isn’t very sympathetic to people who can’t make it all the way home on their bike. You can’t take them on the tube, and you can’t take them on the bus. Additionally, it’ll probably be dark at 5.30 when I leave the office.

It’s a bit of a shame I can’t cycle to work tomorrow because I’m going to Birmingham for the night with work. No point in bringing the bike here, only to leave it here over night.

Here’s some details of the work out.

    Am I bligging, for the first time- how exciting?
    Well done matt, only data missing is your blood chemistry readings, so buy yourself a testing-kit and you can do your own tests during coffee-break.

    What was the overall start-end time- was it really 34 mins and 24 seconds? Or is that a pre-programmed, what ought to be?

    Well done, you (and me, for 1st-time bligging)>

      Hi Julia,

      Welcome to blogging! If you like, I can set up a blog for you at Ameseu.com.

      It really did only take half an hour to do the journey, but as I said I went the wrong way a couple of times, which added a few minutes. When you factor in showering time at the other end, it’s just has fast as getting the bus.

    Well done Matt.. Hope you make it back OK. Cycling does make you feel good, especially when you arrive in one piece….. Dad
