It’s been a couple of weeks since I have ridden to work. First I had a sore back, then the bike needed a service, and then it rained a lot. This was also my first ride with cleated pedals, which was very exciting. These two factors resulted in my slowest ride to work yet, but…

More commuting to work
I’ve done the commute three times now (it’s been really wet the last couple of weeks), and now have the ride down to 21 minutes, which is nice.
First commute to work
This morning was my first bike commute to work ever. Not just to my new American job, but ever (I’ve always lived too far from work until now — being a bike ride away from work was one of the criteria for the apartment in the US). The ride was rather pleasant, and involved very…
Two weeks of being sick
And 31km travelled. Not too shabby given I couldn’t breathe and had goo coming out of my head. I feel quite unfit riding now though, so I need to put some work into getting back into things. James talks about commuting to Google, which is currently of interest to me so I’d like to hear…
100km week
At the start of last week I set myself the goal of riding 100 kilometres during the week. Despite a couple of rainy days and being busy, I made it… I’m very proud of my little self now. [icbm: home]
75 kilometres last week
It would have been more, except I was away on the weekend. I haven’t gone riding yet this week — it’s been too wet. [icbm: home]
A 50km week
I went about 50km this last week… I can only say about because my bike computer just reset itself while I was down at the shops — losing the odometer along the way (it said about 190km). Oh well. All of that riding was errands and travel to and from uni, with only one 13km…
A Saturday ride
This is a boring post, so I’ll keep it short. 30.81km, max speed 45.9 km per hour, 1 hour 52 minutes ride time. Around lake Tuggeranong and so forth. [icbm: home]
Addiction?
I’ve been feeling agitated all week, and really quite stressed out. This could be because of: The three conference papers i give next week in Perth Including the opening keynote The impending release of the product I work on The two book chapters I am meant to be writing this week The PhD work I…
Weekend riding
Not as much riding as I had hoped for over the weekend, as I ended up with yet another headache this afternoon. The frequency of them is decreasing though, so I think I am getting over whatever bug is causing them. Anyways, 12km yesterday — a ride from Dad’s house to my house, and then…
