Good work on the vid.
Looks like a particularly slow route to cycle, but in the youtube video comments he does say he's tried lots of other routes and has always ended up returning to this one. Sometimes the most direct or fastest route is not the one you want to end up doing day after day.
1h9m to run in for me, compared to 35m. Should get faster on the run as I lose weight and get fitter but probably not to the point that I can do 11km in under 40 minutes (I'll be happy with sub 50 minutes for 11k!)
Can't think how slow I'd have to go not to have to need a shower by the time I get into work (by either bike or foot) as I sweat even thinking about exercise, but then counting shower time at work isn't fair unless you regularly skip the shower at home before you cycled/walked or bus/train/tube-wankered.
