And it begins...

Up at 5.15 tomorrow to leave 6am.

Saddlebag packed, metcheck checked, waterproofs at the ready.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to ride my new bike for more than about quarter of a mile; I never got around to buying any mudguards, and I'm still not 100% sure of the route, right at the end.

This could be interesting...

There's nothing like being prepared
Good luck.

Don't sweat it, my first time commuting the 20 miles each way, I got lost in both directions and it was on the coldest day recorded in ages. I had no proper cycling gear, a shoot bike and my hands got a numbness that wouldn't go away. I figured it could only get better and I was right

Ha! That does make me feel better. (er, in a less mean way than that sounds...) I guess I should see the early commutes as learning experiences.

Feeling surprisingly cheerful for 5.30am, and it's not raining! (yet.) Hurrah!

Thanks everyone... will update later.

Fingers are crossed for you!

 

[levad]

Are you nearly there yet?

Hope it went well. Guessing as its the first day sneaking on the internet to let us know is not the done thing :-)

 

[abchandler]

How's it gone PS? Was thinking of you this morning and I was only doing 8 miles!!
