Just discovered that I managed to leave my front door not only unlocked but slightly open all day while I was at work. Luckily, nothing got nicked! Guess there’s an advantage to living in a block of flats with a security door thingy…
Bike stats for today’s return journey (first time back in one [...]
Oh, yes.
Trip time: 0:29.06
Distance: 5.17 miles
Average Speed: 10.66 miles per hour
Top Speed: 30 miles per hour
It is 4.74 miles from work to RPC, and it took me just over 3o minutes to bike it. That’s an average speed of 9.48 miles per hour. My top speed (going down a hill, wheee!) was 27 miles per hour.
Cycled all the way from Town to my place, including over The Junction Of Evil, without stopping! Haha!
Although I must have been pretty pathetic if a couple of weeks of cycling has made this much improvement…
Well, legs of slightly-more-set-jelly-than-before, anyway. On the way back from work, I found myself getting up hills that previously I’d had to abandon to walking, or finding myself on LeftGear 2 instead of LeftGear 1.
Maybe 6pm is my peak cycling time?
Well, it wasn’t exactly hard or anything. The way’s well-lit, and my front light’s only for beeing seen. Not that I met much traffic on the way anyway…
…I only had to stop & get off a couple of times along the way – I took an alternate route back that avoids the [...]
…for my first attempt at cycling for my 3-11 shift!
Getting there (certainly preparing to go) is easier (more time!), but it’ll be a long cycle back at night…
Tried a new route to work yesterday. Probably shouldn’t have, as I’d slept through my alarm (three hours of my alarm!) and was Very Late, but I thought it might be quicker.
And, as it turned out, it was. There was one bit too steep for me to ride up, but [...]
Well, went to Asda, but didn’t buy an iron from them – all their cheap ones were out of stock – again! And I don’t see why I should pay £14 for an iron… They had TVs, but didn’t deliver, so I left that, too.
Went to Comet in search of cheap irons, and [...]
Played Heroquest today – much fun. Cycled there and back again, which I’m sure is good for me, although my left knee is a bit sore… And my headlight appears to have drained its batteries mysteriously, and I cunningly left my helmet behind.
The log of tonight’s session is here.
Speaking of roleplaying logs, I [...]
