My work is 9.1 miles from my home and it's currently taking me between 50mins and an hour which i'm sure is a snails pace compared to some of you but i'm quite pleased for my first attempts. Some my route is quite busy too but even that's not bothering me too much any more. I managed two days this week so i totalled 36.4 miles. |

I've been doing it for 3 years now and recently I became a bit too relaxed and wasn't paying full attention. Nearly ended up being run off road by a car. I love it though - It was one of the best things I ever started |
