Default Yay! Finally done it..

Finally got to work without putting a foot down on the way. It's only a mile but it's all junctions so it takes a bit of luck with the traffic too! I've been trying for over a year....

Well done mate, i like to do the same as it helps keep my slow control good. Now all i have to do is get the fast bit to the same standard

Nice one. I work the other way. 16 miles to work 6 miles of town, but then 10 miles of rural. I try to do the rural at a "good pace" & not use my brakes

Very well done. Mine is 8 miles right through the city centre so not much chance of me achieving such standards.

Mine is directly through town and a 4-5 mile trip. However I doubt I'll be able to do it with not touching a foot down as I have to go over 7 roundabouts and 17 sets of traffic lights!

Hmm, I sense a rideout game forming, with many a dropped bike ensuing
