Quite Pleased With Myself

[Spydaman]

Cycled to work and back today. Well nearly, the Wife gave me a lift halfway there in the car and I cycled the rest. 12.68 miles there and 28.85 miles back. Not bad for a fat bloke on a mountain bike. According to my Sportypal I used about 2000 calories in total and took less than an hour to get there and just over 2 hours to get home.

Get yourself some road/light treaded tyres as well, it'll make life much easier.

Slicks seem to be worth about 6MPH on my MTB

Already got slicks so no improvements to be had there. I hear the PH cycling shirts are worth a few mph otherwise it's down to doing it more often.

Cool, I will accept 6mph without peddling!

I had armidillos on my old MTB for road use. Very good and seemed to handle soft roading, but cr*p in the mud or fast descents.

Well done, OP.

Lycra. Lots of it.
