I managed to get to work in 26mins 30secs (10 miles) yesterday for my night shift :D

I did have a tail wind, but I'm still chuffed. I had a fair old sweat on when I got to work.

When I started riding into work (on my MTB) it would take me 40 - 45 mins. On my road bike my previous best was just over 30mins, and usually around 31 - 32 mins.

Apologies for the virtual self congratulations. :wink:

    Well done!

    I think the morning commute (excluding traffic) is one of the best ways to track progress.

    Yesterday was my personal best: 13.5 miles in 39 minutes door-to-door (ave. 20.5 mph)

    I hit 10 miles at around 28 minutes. So I am improving too.

    Hopefully this will continue for a while longer

    Well done, and to fnegroni. Nice to see some reward for all that effort.

    Only one snag cheechee - you will now have to chip away at the 25 minute target ;) And you can't bank on that tailwind every day. Keep it up.
    Aspire not to have more, but to be more.
