Hello all
I have been thinking about commuting for some time and I have changed roles at work which has made me mainly office based. My current drive to work is 125 milesaround the M25 to West London which I do 4 or 5 times a week. It normally takes between 1.5 – 2.5hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the evening so commuting may save sometime in the morning at least not to mention the fuel cost.
The route via my Garmin says 27 miles and Google maps make it 23 miles one way so maybe 2 hours to do it if its 27miles? So myfirst question is does anyone commute from Kent to West London and if so doesanyone have any routes they could share.
I am a reasonably confident rider and ride around 45 milesmost Sundays and did 80 last night on the Friday night ride but would imagine this sort of mileage will be a challengeif I do more than a couple of days commuting a week but guess it will be a caseof suck it and see, start with one day a week and go from their.
What are your thoughts on the mileage. 25 ish miles then a full day at workthen 25 ish back has put me off till now…… should I stay put off and stick with my car?
Cheers for any input
