I do, roughly, a 15 mile round trip every day, in all weathers. It's much nicer and easier in the Summer/Autumn though![]()
I used to hate it in summer. Always felt like I would pass out going over Dawson Bridge and up Rowland's Hill. I love the River Valley here, but somedays I hate that it is a Valley. And thusly it has a hill that extends up for Half a mile. Not a very gentle slope either, but with a viscous turn in it to make you need to arc. Sucked too because it was right near the beginning of the ride.

Some 25 kilometers there. Took a little more than an hour. I felt amazing about being able to do it every single day.
And now I wonder I did not buy a car?
I cannot even imagine how I used to do this.
