I finally made the full cycle to work on Sunday. Having done about 2/3 of the route and back a few times, my intention was to cycle there and see how I felt before getting picked up to come home. My thinking being that if I could do the trip one-way and be in a suitable state to then work, I’d have the day to prepare for riding home. As it was, I felt pretty good when I got to work. I spent an hour or so having a bit of a sort out in my office, and then cycled home again. I was tired and perhaps in a bit more pain than normal after, but nothing really of concern.
The 24-48 hours after has tended to be when I feel the after-effects, but I seem to have been ok this week. Next step is to do it on a work day, which I’m aiming to do next week. From there I can start thinking about doing it regularly.
