Tales from today's commute....

Bit more of a directive to be in the office at the moment, so using it as an excuse for a few commutes in.

Lots of benefits to WFH, but a big negative has been my huge drop in fitness. Young kids mean weekend or evening rides are difficult and involve planning and negotiations so the commutes were a lifeline for me before covid. I've risen from around 78kg to 95kg+ in the last few years :ohmy:.

Hopefully a few commutes a week will start to reverse the process!

I have the same problem, less because of lockdown, fortunately I was working throughout, but because my place of work moved from 15km away to less than 1 km. I'm also trying to build up stamina and reduce waitsline.
 
Cycled into work this morning; I was running a little late but managed about 20km in 50 minutes which startled me mightily...

I can work from home if I wished and in certain circumstances I do. But very rare. But.. since last October, my daily cycle commute has dropped from a 30 mile round trip to a 17 mile round trip and it's noticeable. I have put on a few extra pounds since without the high intensity hour plus work out twice a day.

As long as I breathe, I attack.

I was stopped at some traffic lights and on the opposite pavement was a mum and her daughter, off to nursery I guess.
Little girl shouts over "Hi bike man, Hi". The mum was slightly embarrassed by the situation, as was I, I suppose.
I couldn't not do anything, so I smiled at the little girl and gave her a wave.:hello:
