Today is day 7 of my cycling to work ‘experiment’ and I can safely say it’s going rather well. I do have the odd thought about hopping on a tube and I do get extremely tired in the evenings and slob out infront of the telly. However it has its benefits, take today, it was sunny, relatively mild, a day I’d much rather be out doors than stuck on a stinky tube.\u00a0Some benefits I probably shouldn’t admit to are that I now eat what ever I like without feeling guilty, the odd fried breakfast, a mars bar at lunch, a pizza after work. Maybe a McDonalds thrown in at the weekend, its all good. So my anticipated weight loss isn’t going quite to plan but\u00a0I feel a lot better.<\/p>\n
I noticed that today’s nice weather brought out the ‘occasional’ cyclists who normally tube in but when the weather’s nice they hop on their bike. It was actually a little congested in places with so many bikes on the road. The ‘occasional’ cyclists are the ‘L’ plate drivers of the cycling world, slow and lacking in confidence.<\/p>\n
My cycle log is now up at 60miles (in the last 7 days). By tomorrow evening I will have hit the 80mile mark. 20miles a day seems a long way off from cycling 100miles in a day but its a start.<\/p>\n
