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…
Back on the road again, nearly
Andrew and Sarah’s air freight arrived on Saturday, and thanks to their kindness that means my bike arrived too. I reassembled it on Sunday, and went for a short test ride, which was a mistake as it reminded me how much fun riding is. Now I need to find time to ride here, despite the…
Bike crash
More details later, but I had a badish bike crash on Wednesday night, and spent a lot of yesterday at doctors and being xrayed. More details when I get the time to write them up… [icbm: work]
What’s that grinding noise?
Dad I were riding a week or so ago, and I had just come down a nice hill where I had been going over 50 kilometres and hour… Towards the end the brakes on the rear wheel started to make a grinding noise as I slowed down. I’m a bit of a bike newbie, so…
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]
Mont 24 hour race
The Mont 24 hour race (a mountain biking event in Canberra) is coming up. I’m thinking about coming along to take some pictures… Hopefully they’ll be as nice as this one taken by Big Headed Simon. [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…
