Not me, guv. I try not to go into the inner city if it's at all possible to avoid it. I've got this bizarre liking for oxygen in my air*.

*this does seem very strange given that I grew up on Teeside.

Sorry Grahame no chocolate, looks like Dominic and Robert have got you :wink:

Don't know if Tim still does 7 miles on a bmx! (If you're out there Toks says you looking lean and mean, 1st cat this year?)

36 miles each way, although I only do one way in a day. First time was today and took in Tandridge Hill Lane on the way, blimey that was tough at 6.30am.

Cheers

16 -17 miles each way from wallington to city & across to canary wharf.

Do it five days a week unless i'm going for some pop after work

Started doing it at christmas and its a lot better than the sweaty tube!

Stu, I really wish I was a lightweight, that is half my problem.

My commute turned out to be 60 miles yesterday after I took a wrong turning :roll:

Hey Paul you'll be proud of me,

Yesterday I commuted to Silverstone 80 miles,
on my nice new red winter/training bike

I gotta ride back later tonight :shock:

Hell George, that'll be a longer ride that I've done :!:

By the way, it doesn't count unless you had a 10 kg panier attached :lol:

by **George** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 9:22 pm

I sure did have a 10K pannier attached Paul.

The Awards show I was working on at Silverstone finished at 3am Sat morning.

The Audio guy's told me I could get a lift back to london with their truck at 3am.

Only problem was their truck didn't turn up

Only one thing for it, I got togged up and rode all the way home.

It sure was cold, lucky I had my head LED torch to light up the village road signs.

It was a very surreal and weird experience, I didn't feel tired at all, the legs just kept me rolling South and after being awake for 24-hours, I made it back just after 8-am :shock:

wasn't crazy enough to roll on down to the CR though

Nice one George, bet the roads were quiet :!:

Years ago, we used to have a clubrun that rode through the night to Brighton, leaving at 10:00pm. Some lunatics (not me I hasten to add) then went swimming :shock:

and then get back as the sun comes up

Thinking of getting this going again when it's a bit warmer. Any takers :?:

(you don't have to swim :!:

)

Yeah id be up for that, did a couple of night rides over xmas when i was working and loved em!

When i was younger i used to ride home from work at the hotel at 1-2am every week and i always wondered what its like to do a proper night ride in the summer...

So yeah, definately! I might even go for a quick swim if its not too nippy!

You could get Paul T to run it at his "Modest pace!!" :lol:

We could just have a "steady" run down - don't worry Andrew, as you wouldn't be able to see Ditchling, you wouldn't notice it was there
