Did my first commute from Herts - ended up being 27.8 miles :)
I looked at the weather forecast and went with summer kit with a buff. Arms, hands and feet were freezing most of the way in. My front mudguard was somehow being scraped by the tyre with every revolution. Stopped a few times to try to adjust it, made no difference. Was completely enraged by the scraping by the time I got to work.
I need the quickest route between the Oxford Circus end of Regents Park and Victoria. So many lights, so slow.
Also, moving time was 1hr 41mins, but elapsed time was 1hr 55, so there's definitely room for improvement if I leave a bit earlier and have to do less filtering.
