Don't encourage sarajoy, she's leaving me standing in the stats chart
. I've told her to get proper handlebars, will leave the commando lecture to DDD on the 18th. I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0 -
I eased myself into commuting over a few weeks: first Friday, then Wed and Fri, then every other day then every day. I was knackered the next day at first.
I only realised it was feasible to cycle commute on my route when there were really bad roadworks and the bus took an hour and a half into work and a couple back. Even cars were taking about 90 mins each way.
My round trip now takes about 90mins in reasonable weather.0 -
Way to go JP
Sarajoy, how's it gone so far this week?0 -
Not bad, though I am pretty tired and my legs just want a rest (going dancing tonight though, oops...) - no cycling this weekend for me (this has almost been a 6-day commuting week as I went got a 16 mile ride on the Sunday preceding it)!
I now know I can do it and not die - which is nice - but next week there'll def be a rest day or two!

I'm wondering how painful a full week commute next week for me will be. I've managed 2 days in a row, and I can already feel my calfs and @rse not appreciating it... I really need to get fitter :oops: 0

Try adding an extra day each week so your bits get used to it. You'll wonder how you ever used local transport/drove after a while, then you'll want to ride even in the rain and cold (at least, that's what's happened to me) :shock: :shock:
My Oyster card is feeling very unloved too

One and a half. Saturday all day and Sunday afternoon 0 -
Well I usually have Weds as a rest day. TBH it's handy as then I get some shopping done, and can change over towels/clothes/etc at work, and generally mooch about... So I'll just go back to that
TBH having the hottest week so far as the full week of riding hasn't helped! Phew!0 -
If you've done 5 days, then don't loose the momentum. You'll be fresh on Monday, and once it becomes default, you'll never look back. I reckon it took me about 5 or 6 weeks for my fitness to catchup with the mileage, but since then its been pretty easy as long as I haven't chased the A4 TT or a PB.0

Well to be honest, I'm happy! I know I can do it, and so won't worry about planning in a rest day - but will have one if circumstances go that way. It's all gravy 0

Although I always try to get a PB commuting to work :oops: @ SJ. That's the way to do it! 0 -
Stupid question I'm sure (if you know the answer) but on the stats page what's a PF?0

(makes sign to ward off the evil eye and points to ITboffin to deflect her attention, in case I haven't been eliptical enough)0 -
Wow! She must REALLY like him... she seems to visit him so regularly...0

If you're a bit intense on the good ol' PF, you can subtract to below zero to show X in your PF tally. Just in case...
Whooooh [makes spooky noises, flees room in white bed sheet...]
Welcome to SC Stats Joycie. Add every mile, climb every hill.0 -
My body's a bit broken this week. Had a couple of things flare up, possibly due to being run down
Resty-week this week, might be in the saddle a couple of times... I imagine the riding itself wasn't too bad in itself but I threw myself back into my dancing in the evenings last week as well, guh. Sniffle.
Well, at least I know I can do it. Finally Redvee gets his chance to catch me up on the SCStats
