Good stuff

Advice:
Measure the diameter of your thighs (carefully measure 1/2 way along) and waist, and write these down you exact weight at a defined time, e.g. just before you go to bed, or when you get up.

When the weather gets cold and wet, and you get fed up, repeat measurements and see what difference you cycling is making.
(don't do it weekly - changes too small to be encouraging).

Well done - and keep going.

I started cycling to work (10 miles as well) in May and now do it 3-4 times a week. My waist has also gone down 6 inches (or 7 belt-holes) in that time too.

Nice one! Enjoy the ride home. Cyclists must be the only people who actually look forward to their commute.

Jolly well done, you will sleep well tonight...

 

[jamin100]

thanks, will be getting ready to leave in a few minutes. Just noticed how dark its got :S
Well i have my lights and hi-vis so i'll be fine. A little nervous about going through all the school traffic but i'll take it steady

 

[cyberknight]

Well done and keep it up !!

I find commuting is now the best part of my day

 

[JamesAC]

You home yet?

Don't forget, as well as looking after yourself (shower, cup of tea etc) , give your bike the once-over, too. Especially check the tyres to see if there's bit of glass or stuff sticking in the tread; check your break and gear cables (as well as your thighs) for chaffing and so on.

Well done!!

 

[baldycyclist]

hope you are home jammin.
20 miles as a first is a pretty good show.

Mine is half that and I have lost weight etc.

The big problem is that we all spend money on kit and ever more exciting accesories AND we then have to spend money on new clothes as we lose weight!!!!!

 

[Klausmeister]

Well done.

Same milage as my commute as well. Working 12 hour shifts I don't do every day, but plan to one day.

Well done for starting in the colder/darker weather as well.

 

[jamin100]

Yep I'm home and showered thanks guys.

Got home again in just over 50 minutes 10.6miles

Have just given the bike a quick spray with gt85 and ill give it a proper look at in the daylight

Aint THAT the truth!!
I reckon I spend more on bike related stuff now than I did on fuel. Oh well, we all have our vices in life.

Chapeau that man! Chapeau!

And if you need any further encouragement...
