I did my first commute on my road bike this year, and also my first commute since being deliberately knocked off my bike on Monday. I've been doing a fair bit of training for triathlon's since Christmas, using my road bike on a turbo, and it seems to have paid off. I've never gone under 19 minutes before, but today I did it in 17 minutes and 19 seconds!
The traffic was a bit lighter and the traffic lights went my way a couple of times, but I'm pretty pleased with that!

Nice work! I think I was on for a record too until I hit Piccadilly, which was mental. Average speed went from 16.6mph to 15.1mph in the space of about 500 yards. However, I did crest the east side of the Hyde Park Corner underpass at 21.3mph, when I usually am panting with pain at about 16, so that was good.
How is the alma mater, Graeme? Are the little darlings back from easter holidays? I remember I did take my bike up one term in my first year, and pottered around a bit (in Tocil Woods if I remember rightly? On a road bike obv) but never really used it. Which is a shame, especially when I lived in Leam, as the 10 miles or so via Stoneleigh would have been a pretty cool commute. Although considering how fast *I* used to drive that road, maybe not...0 -
Yep, first week of term. Lots of building work on campus at the moment. Big renovations going on in the Arts Centre and the SU building.0
