So, first post and appearance for me on LFGSS in sometime...good to be back and see all seems familiar.
I have a change in job that means that my usual 8 mile each way (SE to W London) is now changing from having to go Peckham to Slough most days.
Loathed to get a Brompton and do the Paddington to Hell express, I'm wondering, could I ride it?
It's 25.1 miles each way according to gmaps, going A4020 to avoid the A4 which i imagine would be shit during commute times?
Do you hardy type commute such distances? And if so, fixed?
I don't know the roads west of Richmond and if they have lumpy bits...may I need to give in to gears?
