Ha! I was being presented to all day, wasn't anywhere near a computer.

It went OK but it took bloody ages. I think the Garmin must've gone horribly wrong when it claimed it took 1hr51 cos it was about 2hrs45 today and I can't believe that's just down to headwind and extra traffic.

I don't feel that exhausted, but I may not be saying that tomorrow...

From OED:
present, v
To offer or give as a gift, present, or prize.
To offer as an act of worship, as a sacrifice.

That's some job you've landed, PS!

Great work on the commute. ;) I feel inspired.

Ah... it's not supposed to be, but it has a habit of changing its settings by itself, so that could well be it.

Feeling pretty good this morning except I feel a bit sick after downing a pint of coffee...

oh, and I wasn't late yesterday - it's one of those beautiful workplaces where it's really easy and quick to lock your bike up in the secure area, hop in the HUGE shower (soap provided) and shove all your stuff in the drying room. I do love a cycle-friendly workplace.

Glad to hear that things are going alright so far - I'm sure it can only get speedier!!

Well done!

Thanks Mac - I smell like the proverbial roses apparently..
all day out on the bike in the summer, not changed and met a friend in the pub who said 'wow no body odour-how do you do it!'

As for you Mac....speak fer yerself!

Would love a shower at work-if only!

Keep us updated! Sounds a monster commute, nearly 3 hours - wow! But then it would easily take me that long to ride 40miles!
