Are you a high roller?

[sadjack]

I commute 2-3 days a week on a 26 mile round trip across the North Wales countryside.

My only claim to be a high roller is that the route has nearly 2000 feet of ascent (lots of ups and downs!) but that means thats nearly 2000 feet of descent

 

[gaz]

13.5 miles each way, 5 days a week!

 

[jonny jeez]

this has never happened before, could we try again later?

LOL...

 

[heliphil]

45 mile round trip (Brentwood - Shoeburyness) all year round but only 2-3 times a week - I drive the other days (when I swim in the evening)

I commute dressed up as Pope John Paul, does that make me a Holy Roller?

Mines only 5miles each way in theory. However, I do take a 25mile route back pretty much every night for several months now to stop me becoming a porker. Maybe that only counts if it's kept up over winter!

~17 mile trip, SE London (Kent) to W London (Chiswick), via Crystal Palace, then back.
4 times a week or so at the mo, depending on where the meetings are.

Call it 34 miles a day, plus a quick walk around the local park with my son in his buggy on a Sunday. High Stroller?

Oh, and I claim plus points for doing on a bent mikey mobile.

Don't go via Elmers End do you? Saw a 'bent there the other day.

 

[Absinthe Minded]

Unfortunately my times and route are a bit different to you AM. I leave at 5am and cycle along the A13 all the way and then get onto the East India Dock Road and Commercial Road and then along Fenchurch Street along Cheapside and then to St Pauls. I've heard there's a better/nicer and slightly longer route from Canning Town along the Embankment but I try to get in early enough for a gym visit so I've not detoured yet.

That's a shame that a wave won't be possible. I'd love to see someone on my route I've spoken to on here.

Oh well, that's a shame. I suppose i could do A13 but seeing as our times are all wrong, there's no point.

All the best,
AM.

 

[Absinthe Minded]

...loving that shield, jonny!

 

[arallsopp]

Yes I do! Route here.

... and under threat of bad weather, I do it with a twenty inch front wheel.

 

[Sig SilverPrinter]

32 miles a day 4 days a week
essex[hornchurch] to saaarf london

 

[arallsopp]

Sig, I know a much better route for that journey.

...and it'd earn you a high place on the shield. Takes a while though.

 

[iendicott]

Only 10 miles a day, 5 days a week but I do at least 20 / 25 once a week night so still measly compared to everyone else
