Hi all,
Although post-pandemic I typically only go into the office twice a week, the train fare into London is still a considerable outlay I could do without. It's 30 miles each way which, whilst fine for a leisure ride, is too far for a regular commute really (especially as the nights draw in). So I was wondering if it might be feasible to drive & park somewhere in outer South London and reduce the cycling down to ~15 miles each way. (Work facilities are fine, that's not an issue.)
Does anyone here do anything similar, or have any tips for where to park or routes to avoid? I'd be coming up the A22 from Sussex but I'd rather avoid cycling in the Caterham valley, so maybe Sanderstead/ Selsdon/ Shirley?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
