I jumped on the bike yesterday to to my first commute in a long time.
I actually drive half way and cycle the rest. It works out to be a 50km round trip which is nice.
I plan on doing this twice a week, then stepping up to three times a week in a few weeks.
I take in the M7 starting at Elizabeth Drive, then exit for a short jaunt down the M5, exiting at Moorebank Ave, then on to work from there. The route home is much the same, but I get on at the start of the M7 at CVW.
One of the guys told me to download Strava before I left yesterday, so I did. Works nicely.
It feels great to be back on the bike going to work!

Welcome back. Did you commute again today ?
Anything you can do, I can do slower

Well done mate! I just got back on after almost 3 months of sure to knee surgery and I feel great for it.
I'd love to be able to use the M7.
