bike riding

Back to cycling to work now. Feels good to ride, and now getting up a good head of speed, riding lots faster than 3 months ago, with the same level of intensity, up around 5-6kmh quicker. All good stuff. Helps having lost weight. But the ride to work is just not far enough now. I just about get warmed up and I'm there!! 17 and a half minutes to do 7.5 miles, and that includes traffic lights etc. And that's not all out effort. I'd say that was at 70-75%. So looking good for bike riding in the warmer weather and when I put in more longer distance rides. Back in the pool early doors tomorrow for a swim and will do a longer bike ride into work.
