The thought of not being able to ride is making my miles more enjoyable than normal. I feel an epic journey coming, perhaps I'll ride all the way home on Thursday :twisted:
Tomorrow is a new day.
the road forum.. want to narrow that down a bit?

It's not going to happen I have this evenings commute, plus tomorrow morning's 22.5 then 5 miles in the evening as we're staying with the in-laws.
68 miles short = FAIL

45 miles a day
20 train 2.5 work then the same on the way home, my train only stops 2-3 times with the first 2 stops being pretty damn far apart.
95 miles door to door which takes about 3 hours each way, when the weather is good :?
The 100 mile TT record is about 3:20!
How long does it really take?

Wot u suggesting I couldn't do 95 miles in 3 hours ...? :roll:
Yes yes SW trains does the lion share of my commute, thankfully.
FWIW buns I did it once on the bike, it took 4 hrs to do 80 miles (Kew) then another 1 hr to do the remaining 15 miles, that was on a hot summers day with no rucksack and minimum kit.

Well that was it, my last proper country commute this year, due to early meetings today I had to take the main road shorter route, PB without any effort, cruel just cruel!

Pffft - first time in 5 years that my year on year mileage hasn't increased; must try harder next year. I blame Mrs CiB for working 3 days a week now instead of 2 and putting the mockers on my commute options.

I clawed myself back to just ahead of schedule and then had two days off the bike this week. Now have 110 miles to get in three commuting days.FCN 2-4.

Talk about kicking me when i'm down, apart from injuries i've remained cold & flu free for over two years (I think) - i'm sitting here now feeling sorry for myself post surgery with a sore throat, back ache and head ache - I think I have a good damn cold coming!!!! :evil:

Respect . *Tips hat*
How far's your commute btw? I reckon a 14m e/w would be the sweet spot for being able to keep going day on day. Mine's too long at 19m to keep the rythym going so i end up buying a 1 week train ticket between bursts of rides.0 -
