Well I have just completed the ride into work.
After about 5mins I nearly quit out, even though I thought my arse was OK after my 2 mile ride last night, when I sat down on the bike this morning it hurt, badly! Also you only realise hills when you ride your bike but almost straight from my house for probably the first 2 miles was uphill and this was not nice. Having said all of this the route is great, the lanes had no traffic and I really enjoyed riding into work, which was nice. I thought I was doing badly however before I knew it I was at Hatton, I must have been eating up the miles without realising (Obviously a computer would help). I ended up doing 8.9miles in 35mins!. I called Joy at 9:35am, and was at my desk for 9:50am!!!!!!!!!!! I still think my seat needs to go even higher though.
I will see tonight how I feel, it may be totally different on the way home. I even stopped for a drink and some pics, (no flowers John however if you look closely you may see some stinging nettles. I feel so much better and I totally know where I went wrong last night.

I am however very conscious of not over doing it and therefor my plan is just to do the 25 miles tomorrow. If i feel good I will do the return journey but I don't want to kill myself or put myself off by doing too much too soon. I think doing 2miles, followed by 18miles followed by 25miles in my first 3 days will be enough for now.
