Hi,

For the 280 odd quid South West Trains charge me each month, I'm thinking about dusting off the leathers and paying myself the money for the pleasure of owning a bike and doing the commute myself.

Does anyone do this route on a daily basis? any ideas on commute times?

Thanks in advance

Not sure of the part Guildford to where the A3 meets the A308 out of Kingston (30 mins?) but at 6.30am the time from the A308/A3 to Elephant and Castle is approx 20-25 mins via Clapham Junction and Vauxhall.

My ex work mate used to commute from Portsmouth on his bike everyday in fine weather. Up the A3 into London Bridge. He's an IT consultant.

He loves it.

Just make sure it's the right bike... I do Alton to Monument some times and heaving my GS through the rush hour is no fun. It's not the ideal choice for filtering...
