45 miles, but there is a sauna...

I have no idea how much you weigh but if you eat the same and exercise more you will most likely lose weight. It's a statement of fact. You just need to make sure you can operate properly at work with the extra effort commuting. I aim for a 1hr commute - any more wastes too much time - so good luck.

Only joking. I'm 14st 2 at 6' 1-2", so carrying a little extra padding. I rode the Pyrenees last year, and the weight fell off in just 2 weeks. Hopefully a month of this and I'll be a little trimmer, and then I'll have less to carry.

The terrain is mostly flat as I'm in Norfolk. A few little hillettes.
