Developments

Oh, never mind…) it means my commute has increased rather. Not too badly – but badly enough to be more awkward. And not particularly walkable any more.
So, as of today, I’m the proud(?) owner of a bike. I haven’t had one in years. But this should be fun. Well, except for a couple of the roundabouts on the route, which – to be honest – could be a bit dodgy. But fun all the same.
The journey is about six miles. Then I need to find exactly where the new office is, as Twunty Manager never quite got round to letting the IT team visit the place. So that should be fun. An accurate assessment of time taken to do the journey will, therefore, not really be possible ’til Monday evening. But I’m reckoning that 15-20 minutes should do it. I’m giving myself about 30 minutes for the first journey though, just to double check.
Mind you, 12 miles each day should do some wonders for fitness and weight-loss…
I would say you will lose weight Lyle, 12 miles a day would make me skinny in no time.
Good luck on the cycling, mate. I cycle everywhere in my city and have been for quite some time now. It’s actually turned into a big hobby for me, and I try to do longer day trips at weekends.
