Communting

Decided to ride to work on Friday after a week of on/off riding due to weather/mechanicals/laziness. My commute is from West End to Logan Central and is around 28-32km depending on route. Last week I commuted and suffered a major headwind in both directions causing me to take about 1 hour 20 on the way to work and about an hour 40 on the way home. Work out the averages and you'll see I was suffering!!!

On Friday however I copped an orgasmic tailwind both outbound and inbound and was LOVING IT. Took Logan Rd in the morning and got all the green lights and limited traffic, on the way home I took a nearly empty bikeway with everyone seeming to have the day off ??... It was fantastic!!!!!

If I could control the weather, traffic, lights, wind and workload I'd commute everyday! I found this great cyclocross video that reflects the feeling of leaving work and hopping on the bike

 

I move house this weekend to Parkinson. I will be commuting through Karawatha Forest to get to/from work. So I will probably imagine myself on a Ti PlanetX cyclocross bike and rip it up :)

Enjoy
