Bike Hub Commuters Challenge 2017

[SilverRider]

I once commuted for 8 days straight. Work and housesitting during the week and housestitting and church over the weekend. Was pretty knackered on the tuesday of the second week. Decided right there to make it a rest day.

5 days in a row is not for sissies...

 

That's for sure. It's tougher than I thought it would be

Hi. Just came across this. I also commute. Try and do 3 days a week. Did only 2 days this week, 75km. About 16km one way. Sometimes take longer route back, about 25km. Log on average 150 to 200km per week if I commute more. Most I have done was 6 days straight when my dad used my car. Tough. Hats of to all.

Hit the deck this morning on a slippery road.  Luckily no serious damage to the bike and other than a few scratches I only ended bruised ego and shoulder.  A co-worker asked if he can join me on my commute tommorow. It would be his first commute for the year.  Looking forward to a nice easy ride along the river into town.  Just what the doctor ordered for the bruises to heal.

oops. heal up soon. how far is your commute daily?

Last week in Cape Town rain i managed to ride the whole way without an incident and then almost hit the deck on a slippery concrete section at the entrance to the car park.

Thanks. 35 km depending on the selected route.  Yip the moisture in the air was quite something this morning.  Nice and sunny but lots of dew so the road surfaces were pretty wet.

Early autumn morning are the best in Cape Town. Crisp and refreshing.

35km one way or total for day?

The top three is very close.  It is long way for me to try and catch up.  But I hope to get to 6th this week.

LOL. Sorry about that. Totally forgot to change the ride from sport to transport. But think Willem might well overtake me this week if i don't ride till Friday.

I'm leading on Strava

 

It takes a while for the body to get used to consecutive days of riding... when I started I was exhausted by the end of the week... 2 years + later I did 1,500km in 63 hrs (mainly mtbike) in April and rode every day of the month.

 

Commuting has helped my training and racing a lot - we finished 29th on GC at Sani2c and 3rd mixed.

 

I hope the roasties aren't too bad Bateleur1!

I noticed you're aiming for that 6 ... was just too tired from last week to do anything about it. Hopefully back by tomorrow.
