Thats my EXACT route, i've never seen you. Perhaps a few more tats may help?
-

Wow that's a fair commute, none of that's on my short sprint in alas I probably wont bump into you.
Our of interest, how long have you been doing that commute?

Too shy.... but imagine a slightly overweight 50 yr old hairy Hippy on a well-chipped 34 yr ol Dawes FG conversion (with a Chain ring and Hotpants tatt'd on his face)!

Sorry Mr goonz, no room left for more face Tatts. The Chainring tatt was a 52T so its taken up a fair bit face-room.

I've only been riding FG for a year, I'm a very late starter. Almost 50 y/o but had the itch to start commuting by cycle (instead of motorcycling) about 3 months now but I can only manage it 2 or 3 times a week due to it totally knackering me out each time! Its ~19.5 miles each way but very flat thankfully until I get back to DirtFud where I have to climb up East Hill at the very end of the ride. Luv riding my bike and getting my health back and weight down. Did a PB today, 1Hr 16min 2 Secs.

Thanks all, very kind.

Yeah the reason I asked was because of your user name, I think you might have jumped the gun on that a bit because if your doing 60 miles fixed every week you wont be a "FatMan" for much longer.
I've been riding fixed for about 2 and a half/3 years but only started commuting the last 6 months. Got a 6 mile "sprint" each way and I've gone from 34 inch waist to a 30 and I've dropped my asthma off on the way as well.

Wowee, thats a a 1/3 of a foot, nice work on the waistline Mr dotes.
I was a wobbly 15 1/2 stone at the start of summer '13 and over the last year as I've ramped up my weekly mileage dropped down to 12st 9lbs. I still eat and drink what I used to cos I enjoy good Veggy food and Hop-flavoured drinks but its just burning off now instead of accumulating. I stopped skateboarding at 46 and with both kids grown up and moved out thats when the weight went on.

Haha that's a good way of putting it, cheers!
That's cracking work mate! You've been chucking the weight off! And a few proper pints are definitely part of a balanced diet :)
