You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'll be pootling in, on the 6min drag it takes form home to work.
No lights, mudguards are on though.
8)
And You?
Hmm, tempted as I've not ridden in for a while and I won't need the panniers overly filled. Only a 6 miler here but that's more than enough!
Haven't decided yet. Thursdays are the one day I don't normally cycle to work because it's race night. That said, the club TT season is over as of last week, and tomorrow was to be a trip over to York for some closed circuit racing instead. I'm not sure I can be bothered with the drive over there so I may just cycle to work anyway.
Mudguards got fitted on Monday, lights are on there permanently.
As I'd most likely be riding anyway, I pledged. 13 miles each way towards my 3000 mile commuting target for the year.
I've got to drop my car off for its MOT so it will be a pootle through the parks of Milton Keynes from the garage to the office for me, just 4 miles or so.
from the land of crocs, shorts and thongs - if it rains

20 miles each way ride as I do most days.
18 miles, same as every day, have Hallmark produced a card for the occasion?
i may not cycle to work tomorrow.....
its usually hell to get a shower /bike parking space/locker on these designated days....alls quiet until the next "designated day" though .
I cycle to work every day, so no change here.
As my ride to work will take in the Quantocks it would be rude not to participate
I cycle pretty much every day, tomorrow I'm working from home. Oh well!
But as usual, the multi national company I work for, that promotes being green and reducing it's carbon foot print blah blah blah, has done nothing for it 🙄
Will be heading off over the Pentlands into the burgh. ~30km each way, with a lot more climbing on the way back. Also going to have to cart in my work laptop which is a pain.
26 miles each way, for me, with a climb of the Norths Downs just before I arrive at work.
Will be driving the route (which is different to my normal driving route) on my way home tonight - then I'll decide whether road conditions have been affected by the recent deluges.
Hoping that it'll be alright - lights are on the road bike, but no mudguards as even the slightest bit of damp will see me driving in.
Doing the same 16 mile-each way commute I do every day. Good fun on lates though, last 10 miles on rural roads so on clear nights I kill the lights and ride home by moonlight.
Commute is the best bit of the working day for me 🙄
I ride in every day, so more of the same I guess. 🙂
I have no work to ride to 🙁 ... can i still just ride instead ?
You could ride to the dole office!!
sorry.
working from home, my study is about 20 feet from the bedroom. But as the bike lives in the study I'll use it just this once
24 mile round trip for me this year, same as last - 95 the year before, long day that was.... 🙂
Will be enjoying the coffee and croissants they're putting on for it but I ride in Monday - Wednesday. Thursday is Lordswood ride night and Friday drivers are a little more nuts.
Maybe I ought to do a lap of Canary Wharf too then 😆
Hmmm, 37 miles each way for me. Done it 3 times now, enjoyed parts of it but hated parts of it every time, always when my back has had enough. Maybe....
Not for me tomorrow, I'm into taper mode after today's ride in preparation for a ride this weekend and 40 miles each way tomorrow would not work overly well.
I suppose I could take my BMX and ride the last mole from the station, does that count?
I'll be doing my 20 mile each way commute, however for the last 2 months there's been no hot water in the building due to a cock up during renovation works (so I have to take a detour to another building to get a shower) & they removed the lockable bike shed as it was in the way of some building works, so now I lock it to my desk in an already cluttered office... progress they call it
and ride the last [b][u]mole[/u][/b] from the station, does that count?
if you've got anything left to count with
Will be driving the route (which is different to my normal driving route) on my way home tonight - then I'll decide whether road conditions have been affected by the recent deluges.
Hoping that it'll be alright - lights are on the road bike, but no mudguards as even the slightest bit of damp will see me driving in.
Really?! It's early September, it's not exactly gonna be impassable! MTFU.
I'll be doing the 3.5 miles from Victoria to the office on the Brompton, as per. Miss proper commuting and it's only been 2 months.
I've organised three bike breakfasts at depots around the UK and will be riding 20 miles in and home again.
It's hard being this wonderful.
24 mile round trip, like I sometimes get to do when I've a paperwork day and not meeting clients.
[i]Hoping that it'll be alright - lights are on the road bike, but no mudguards as even the slightest bit of damp will see me driving in. [/i]
You live in the UK, put mudguards on it... 🙄
Yeah, even I've got mudguards on and I live 5mins away and it's all paved over this way..
I normally do it, but I'm not going in to work tomorrow, so I can't!
I started to ride in this time last year but after a back injury in January I had to stop. Backs still quite stiff and sore in the mornings but really want to start riding in again. There's a nice 10 mile loop with a few hills I can do on the way home.
I ride every day (6miles e/w, showers, locker, indoor bike shed, so no excuse) but definitely tomorrow
fixed gear if dry, cargo bike if wet 🙂
im in my "essex office" tomorrow - 54miles away. No.
Recumbent Trike to head office; 15 miles each way (5 miles further than normal). Complementary towel waiting and one bike mile to be spent at the on-site Evans (who provide free servicing). No complementary breakfast as we've already had bike week. Yes we have it hard 😉
I ride most days anyway.
It might be interesting to see if there are anymore cyclists than normal on my route. Normally I'm lucky to see 3 or 4 others.
My employer (large multi national) is doing naff all to support it though.
I sent a nice e-mail round to all the irregular riders to remind them. I may well start a thread here tomorrow entitled - show us you cycle to work day bike shed - so be prepared with a photograph in the morning.

I have no work to ride to ... can i still just ride instead ?
Update on work situation , have induction tomorrow and start work again next week 🙂 ... only out of work 4 days , and its local so bike only which is even better
aye, all being well (i.e. no reason to go to a customer site) I'll be riding in 🙂
I will cycle to work Monday and not before as I'm off till then , but in the mean time I think I might do a cheeky Cutgate in the morning instead 🙂
Reading to Mansfield with 100kg of kit might be a struggle, I'll take the bike with me though for a sneaky loop of somewhere on the way back to compensate.
300 miles from my office tomorrow 🙁
But we are only 6 miles from Kirroughtree, so ClanMoreCash will be riding to someone else's workplace!
I might get the bike out of the garage and cycle to the van which is parked infront of the house. Nowhere safe to lock the bike up there though so I'll have to take it back to the garage and then walk to the van
I'll drive in for a change. The roads will be empty and the showers packed so am looking forward to the peace and quiet on the roads. Having got my hopes up it'll probably be no different to normal and I will wish I biked the 16 miles in to avoid sitting in traffic.
A pootle over Kippenrait Glen road, as usual when I manage to bike.
I rode to work on my vacation - 45 miles, so not enough hours in the day to commute that distance by bike.
Wfh tomorrow though, so excused that run. Might have to go attempt the peaks around Kilmarnock in the evening though, trying to keep up with roadies on my CX...
Really?! It's early September, it's not exactly gonna be impassable! MTFU.
I know what you mean, but my route uses some very quiet rural roads that tend to get lots of mud and debris washed onto them after heavy rain - not really my idea of fun, on a road bike.
Anyway, my drive home has confirmed that all is clear, so it's all go for the morning.
You live in the UK, put mudguards on it...
Mudguards are for my mountain bike, and I'm not riding that 26 miles each way, on the road (again)
Meonstoke to Almaty tomorrow, 3500 miles, five time zones. Which tyres?
Haha.. great routes..!
Erm.. 3500 miles?? Thats just 3499 over my 1 mile commute this morning I'll have you know. 😯
As is, I braved the drop in temperature, it's gone a bit cold here in town today and felt a cool breeze n my thumbs 🙁 As I turned the corner on Millwall Dock I spot a film crew and a whole load of crew buses and trucks parked all along the Dock and Sailing club.. All looking a bit serious and lots of people with megaphones shouting "Shhhhuuussshhh!!"
Hilarious.
I pulled into the bike docks (we have two very large ones) and there are fewer bikes i them today than normal days 😆
