Nice one James - good luck with it! The Cyclogs site is pretty addictive and a good way to see improvements etc

Too true. My average speed is a bit of a let down at the moment though.

Well done JamesM, don't get overly worried about the time, once you've got some miles in the legs over a few weeks it will come down and the pleasure of commuting will also increase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I've done the route again tonight, I was still a bit stiff from Tuesday but I did it a few minutes quicker than last time. I might aim for three times next week.

Good for you! You'll enjoy the fresh air and the adventure. You'll be refreshed when you get to work and looking forward to supper when you get home!

Good stuff. You will get quicker and more used to it .. is exactly what happened to me: started off 2-3 times a week at the start of the year and now I ride to work all the time, whatever the weather. You end up missing it when you don't do it and then you're into the "do work think you're mad" thread in Beginners before you know it.
