I leave a weeks worth of kit in my stores (my changing room) on Monday when I pedal in and have a stand up wash at the sink in the bogs. I tend to swap kit over on the occasions when I drive in. Quite crap really but I've had worse conditions to ablute in!Clive Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085791760784493200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-79896404206039693162010-04-20T21:59:13.376+01:002010-04-20T21:59:13.376+01:00I doubt I could get it down to 34 mins on my mount...I doubt I could get it down to 34 mins on my mountain bike!<br /><br />We have some front wheel cycle racks and one shower on the third floor of the adjacent building to the one I work in.

Joby...Thanks as always guy for your kind comments.<br /><br />Joby - The train travels 4.6 miles in 6 minutes. It's 5.2 miles by road. I intend to gradually up the distance and next week I will ride 5.1 miles before getting on the train. The ultimate aim is to ride the full 9.1 miles to work and back. In two weeks time I will ride the whole journey for the first time with the support of my triathlete colleague.<br /><br />Out of interest, what facilities do your employees have for cyclists?Toby Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03680271828637653290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-43628259228314026932010-04-20T11:36:32.643+01:002010-04-20T11:36:32.643+01:00Well done.
