Time to ride…
At home on Thursday evening and I'm gearing up for the ride into work. At the moment I'm ensuring I have everything I need, trying to make sure that I don't arrive at work only to find that I've left my jeans at home and have to spend the entire working day in my biking baggies…- Jeans? Check
- Shirt? Check
- Cufflinks for shirt? Check
- Pants and socks? Check
- Showering stuff? Check
- Towel? Check
- Lock? Check
Well, I think I'm pretty much ready for the go. My riding gear is laid out at the end of the bed ready for when I get up, no doubt sleep deprived as my newborn will have woken the household up for the third time in the middle of the night. All I need to do now is get some good sleep and hope it doesn't rain.
I also need to hope that the bike will perform adequately. I'm well aware that the single 44 chainring that I've forced myself to rely on may not be large enough for road use, but we'll see how it goes.
My trusty mate, Steve will be knocking on my door at 8:00 am to guide me through the best route into work. He's a bit of a veteran at this, so I'm hoping any shortcuts he can offer will ease the pain of riding into work during full on commuter hour.
I used to commute to work on my bike about 5 or 6 years ago now and remember really enjoying it. I'm sure it'll be fine. I only hope I live to tell the tale…
…tune in for more.
