What time do you go to bed / get up for a 04.15 start?
Do you eat anything that early?
Sorry for the delay, I'm still working days, lost the signal so no internet, and by the time I get home all I want is food and bed (now on day 9).
I don't start work at 04:15 (my official shifts are 6 to 6) thats when I leave home. The alarm goes at 03:55, and its up, dress, loo, and leave (I can't cope with any food first thing in the morning).
It normally takes 25 to 30 minutes to get in, then about 20 to 30 minutes to cool down, shower, and dress.
I take 3 sandwiches an energy bar (nature valley or eat natural) and packet of crisps, and eat them at intervals during the day, with the bulk being eaten in intervals after 12:00.
Cycling home afterwards gives me a bit of a buzz, sometimes I can leave work feeling utterly deflated and tired, and then as I;m going along the legs get a life of their own and I racing my best time.
When I first started I drove in with the bike and gear, cycled home that night and back in in the morning, then drove home the next day. Built it up till I was driving in on my first shift, cycling for rest, and then cycling home at the end. Up until this month I had drove less than once a month.
