As mentioned in PrimalScream's thread, I only started commuting to work on Tuesday, 5 miles each way and took my journey by road from 28 minutes on Tuesday morning to 22 minutes on Friday afternoon.
Missed having a run out on Saturday so decided I would try going via the tank tracks to my office and back via my normal road route:
Getting up the hill at the start was always going to be hard. Last time I did it must be nearly 10 years ago and it was hard then! Not helped by the fact that the seat post had dropped! Re set that 2/3rd's of the way up and it was oh so much easier!
Dropped down the big hill you can see and was more nervous of meeting cars coming up the single tracked tarmac road, so had to keep braking. Must get some protection on my elbows and knees!
All in all, well chuffed and a beautiful day for it.
Will only be able to cycle to the office on two days next week, so will have to find some more routes!
Regards
Chris
