    Woo Hoo, I rode to work via Sth M'Way today for the 1st time!!! except for the foggy patch at Mt Wellington it was all good. Ride home was even better, almost felt warm in comparison to this morning.

    How come you can only ride on Fridays?

    You could have this feeling every day (some days it's the only reason I go to work)

    Don't be a Wuss, ride as often as you can, then as you get older pick the days carefully and take the car or the bus or train anything except getting wet.LOL PLeased to see another KB'er getting steam up and going solo.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Last time I drove to work was 4 years ago.

    The ride to work and back is the highlight of my working day.

    I used to work in the City and the day was bad enough however facing the car drive was a real downer. 50 minutes to do 12km - Faaaaark that.

    When I changed to riding in took 12 minutes to do 12km.

    The ride there always finished with a 130kph right-left-right so I was always smiling when I got there.

    Good work! Isn't it a great feeling getting more confident? Keep getting out there every opportunity you get!
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
