Loads of hassle at work over my job, but now I have a new job, same company, different office... even further away (Hinckley). Anyway, don't let the system get you down and all that, decided to bike it out there yesterday to see if was possible to commute on my bike. The answer is yes... but OMG I'm gonna have buns of steel. It was a 46 mile round trip, 2000ft of climbing and I burned 2300 calories!!! (".) Felt like I was gonna throw up when I got back! My legs were gone but then I had done straight there and back and when I do it for real I'll have 8 hours to eat and recover before I do the return journey.
So, I don't think I have to worry about that extra 8lb I've put on, that'll be gone in a month! And it will be great training for my Paris ride, although I doubt that will be the thought going through my mind at 4pm on a working day, knowing I've got that hilly ride to face on the way home. It will take all my willpower not to ride to the train station! Should be a nice ride in the summer though.
Adam at work said "why didn't you tell me you were going, I would have come along for the ride"
Er... let me see... because you ride at least 5mph faster than me, and I was already throwing up by the time I got back... with you I wouldn't have made it back... I would have collapsed from exhaustion!!!
