I haven't said explicitly anywhere where I'm going to work, but it's for a national cycling charity based in Guildford (which narrows it down just a little!) and Patrick from Bike Club (www.bikeclub.org.uk) has been encouraging Bike Club staff to take on a similarly epic commute either on my first day or during my first week.

shauncollier said:ah bordon, REME by any chance? lukesdad, what clothing have you found to do the job whilst being on the bike for so long so regular? do you have 2 sets of clothes? one for the in ride and one for the return?
patheticshark said:Wow, today's practice run was floody. And rainy. And windy.
Quite fast though, for me... 38 miles (to the station rather than my office) in 1 hour 51; 19.1mph average. Not that I'm expecting to be able to do it in that kind of time by mid-week once I'm doing it for real...
