Progress

After my rather depressed post the other week, about injuries and weight problems... it's really nice to see this picture.



Let me explain... this pic is produced from the geektistics that my fellow cyclist Liam has collected on our weekly bike to work. In pairs, going to work, going home, each about 30k's.

Now that you understand what's in the pic, that steady rise of the chart shows that we have made progress. Steadily increasing our speed on the route to and from work.
(Now a real stickler, would point out that we got lost on the way home every week, while trying different return routes.. but the to work route was always the same.)
And our total ride time for 30Km has gone from 1h 30mins ride time plus "Air" breaks, to 1h 7secs with stops only to cross at traffic lights.

So I'm going to enjoy this pic, while it lasts. Because as of friday, we're stepping up our training for the Ride to Gong, to twice a week. And as a result, the pic will probably start to level off.

And of course, on the way home, we get to use the only Bus lanes on the planet for which it is illegal to cycle on!
