Just this week!!!

Yes, I only got my bike as winter was drawing in but so what!

I did my ~14 mile commute two ways on Wednesday and in to work today for a total of 42.76 miles so far and it feels great! Last year I got the train in and cycled home three times before it got too cold. Before this week, I'd only cycled both ways one Saturday this year. I'm hoping to keep up cycling at least twice a week if I can.

I passed 5 other cyclists on the tow path today, averaging 14.1mph. Go me!

They still don't have showers at work so I might not get away with it as it gets hotter!
 
Those five other cyclists are probably knackered because they cycle all year round.:tongue:

Yeah, I suppose so.

They didn't look like they were in a hurry anyway - I'm trying to push myself to improve my fitness and get the return commute down to an hour (Best of 1:03:45 so far which was Wednesday)

If you wear the right gear, you will certainly not feel the cold if you are commuting 14 miles.
