My commute times are pretty out of the mainstream - 0430 depart Ingleburn arrive at the tunnel at around 0520. In the afternoon I generally join the M5 at Bexely Rd between 1410 and 1500. It depends if the world ends before i get to leave work or not.

How many Kms is that a day, round trip Kev ?

In Richmond? I'd be guessing BigW!sandman wrote:Kev
I went out to Richmond and bought a pair of skins for the legs, I cant believe teh price difference to Rebel. The Slazenger tights were $39.95, Rebel has an intermediate brand at $100 and the Nike ones are $140....
it really pays to shop around !

Penrith Big W only had XXL in pants. Richmond had a few black M's left. They are obviously in the mens section tucked away on a wall. Make sure you try them on first, the masses have been stuffing different sizes into different boxes..
Honestly these do feel good and for a total of $80, its far cheaper than the ~ $250 I would have to pay for Nike stuff at Rebel

You CAN buy stuff in bike stores that look like skins but have the material on the inside like leg/arm warmers have. Right now, the skins are good for this kind of temp however when we hit the really cold months, the ones I've just mentioned above are going to be the best solution.

Round trip is ~81km - 38.6km to work, and 42.5 home. Hard to do it each day, but I try to average 3-4 times a week.
Pete,
I use leg warmers from T7. I think I picked them up for $29.95, and they are the best thing I've purchased in a long time. Snuggly warm. Those, plus the arm warmers and base layer might do me for the colder months.

Yes they are, and I need to keep doing them if I'm going to hold you at bay on BJ.Aushiker wrote:They are nice numbers indeed.Kev365428 wrote:Chuck,

You are all over me, well at least for two more months. My work commute changes in June sometime when the campus I am on closes. That may help somewhat but somehow I think you will continue to keep well clear of me.

Being northern hemispere based, they were clocking up big km in cold weather, probably in snow for some of them. Now that the milder weather has arrived for them, I expect to see them pull out a large gap on us southern hemispere riders.

No worries mate. Just hassling . You didn't look too good yesterday. Hopefully you won't be off the bike as long as I have been .leximack wrote: i was sick and i have witness's, sandmans parents said to sandman, and i quote "he didnt look too healthy", me not looking too healthy was probably exagerated a bit as i went over in my pyjama's (old tracksuit basically) and i hadnt showered or combed my hair, i dont think i looked very well.

i am feeling heaps better now, 6.30-8.30am commute tomorrow, or atleast thats what i am hoping for, if i cant handle it i will shortcut it to work and get there early. Planning to do my 38km commute with an add-on at the rouse hill end. Will see how i go.Boognoss wrote:No worries mate. Just hassling . You didn't look too good yesterday.
