That's a bit shit, JDB - bad luck.
I moved up from about 10 miles a day to 17 miles and had a good initial drop of weight. Recently I've been doing rather too much pootling, so am in a holding pattern - it just allows me to eat / drink what I like without worrying about it.
I've just started to add in an extra climb up Swains / Highgate West every now and then to sharpen things up.
If you use a trip computer and plot it on something like www.cyclogs.org you can track you speeds and set targets to help.
There are no cons. Riding is always better than the alternative. Always.
