Hello! From Ipswich, Suffolk

[mk6golf]

Hello

Dived in last month and got myself a 29er Felt Nine 50 MTB. First bike i've owned and ridden in the last 6 or 7 years so it was a bit of a shock on my first ride to work at 1.75 miles each way CROSS COUNTRY!

Done it once this week and will look to do it twice next week and then build up from there.

Main driver to go back to the bike was due to traffic getting to and from work. I have halved my travelling time by cycling

Hello from Ipswich
Nice job on halving your commute. Wait until the next time they close the Orwell Bridge and the town grinds to a halt. You'll be feeling even more happy!

I ride a 29er MTB and love it.

Slight problem..... Orwell Bridge is part of my route

Hi and @mk6golf.

It won't take long to get used to the distance. Soon you'll wonder why you bothered with the car for the trip.

 

[BAtoo]

even more belated from further up the A14/A140.

When the Orwell Bridge is blocked you can probably ride along the path smiling at the people in the stuck cars
