Commuting by SS/FG

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?

I did a 20 mile each way commute for a couple of weeks, mostly straight down the A3, fixed all the way. Loved it. Puncture on a rainy day would make it less fun, but nothing's perfect. Can't advise about your particular route, though.
