I'm afraid my mind strayed to equipment of the non-cycling kind...That's because you haven't got any flappy bits.
I'm exhausted just reading this!What I am hoping to do is ride to work 4 rimes a week, I go to the gym on Wednesdays so I cant ride and do gym on the same day as I will die! On the other days I swim so I figure my riding and a 20 length swim each morning should get me a lot fitter.
It sounds impressive, but I do only work 3 miles from where I live and the pool/gym is on the way. If I was cycling 20 miles to work it would be a lot more exhausting. During rush hour,I can ride home quicker than I can drive most days.I'm exhausted just reading this!

Once you're used to cycling everyday you'll be able to take a longer route to work.It sounds impressive, but I do only work 3 miles from where I live and the pool/gym is on the way.

Thats what I am hoping, I have yet to attempt my nemesis hill yet though. I have ridden steeper ones in the last couple of days but this one has always been my bugbear. It is barely even a large mound but I have a mental block about it for some reason. Tomorow is the day....Once you're used to cycling everyday you'll be able to take a longer route to work.

Yep, I conquered it on my old bike so theoretically I should sail up it on the new one, but ....Is it the same one you talked about a while back?
You'll be alright then.Yep, I conquered it on my old bike so theoretically I should sail up it on the new one, but ....
You want to try one round here. @stephec is dying to have a go, in both directions.Thats what I am hoping, I have yet to attempt my nemesis hill yet though.

Come over and have a crack at getting up the hill coming out of Mawgan Porth. Hairpin at the bottom and then it's up, up and more bloomin' up! I got 1/3 of the way up and got off and walked only to have a bunch of 20 somethings on roadies make it look easyThats what I am hoping, I have yet to attempt my nemesis hill yet though.
