Despite spending hardly any time on the bike for the last couple of months I managed a new PB on my way home last night: I hour 13 minutes :P My previous PB was around I hr 16 :shock:
I reckon it was the lack of wind/rain, the sheer fact that I was on my bike and glad to be there and that Snickers bar I had just before I left the office

What distance is that over? Sounds like a real man's commute, the bike section of my commute is only about 5 miles...FCN 6 in the week on the shiny new single speed.
FCN 3 at the weekend - struggling to do it justice!0 -

From London Bridge to Ruislip. About 20 miles but all flat. I reckon I could get it down to an hour but for the traffic lights and car drivers0 -

thats pretty much same as me - What's your chosen route?

I had a new PB too, but the bad kind.
It took over 1h50 to get the 25 miles into work yesterday morning, but I had a freezing headwind, was on the look out for ice and the dodgy knee was back.
T'interwebs says it is patellofemoral syndrome and i need to stay off the bike for at least a couple of weeks, take ibuprofen and give it cold and hot compresses, before starting to build up the miles, slowly, again. I can go swimming though, so looks like i'm going to be training for a swimming part of the triathalon I said I wanted to try and do next year

I join that route on Argyle road Perivale, Stay on Uxbridge road too, but then I do Holland road and high street Ken, I also do the Mall then Northumberland, stay on the embankment and cross either Blackfriars or Southwark.
i think I'll try the ways you go now too.0
