How bizzare!! My plans are delayed a little as my bike needed some rather essential maintenance
(new chain and possibly new gears). I went out for a test run on Sunday morning and nearly died due
to 3 reasons:
1) Hangover I didnt realise i had - i was so ill!
2) General fitness needs improving a bit before I do the "full commute".
3) I need to lose weight too!
I am committed to doing this commute but think it will take a couple of months or so befire my
fitness is at such a level it doesnt kill me!
