Back to the Grind
The commute is well and truly under way again after my July holiday and I’m glad to say it is as enjoyable as ever. Thankfully I wasn’t too indulgent while off so am not carrying any excess baggage from it!
I managed to get to work every day for the first week without forgetting to pack anything. This is always a big relief because resuming after a break means the habit is not quite fully formed, so it’s easy to be forgetful. When starting out I did once forget to bring a shirt and had to sit in my scruffy cycling top all day…
Despite doing some big miles over the holidays I have found my legs to be getting a little tired, especially by the middle of the week. However, a nice weekend has them recharged and I’m good to go again this week.

July Stats
Statistics for the month of July are shown below. Only two weeks of commuting due to holidays, but an extra 300 miles cycled while away:

Elevation: 29,431 ft

Sadly, an emergency repair job just before my holiday meant the costs for July were quite high (£170 in total). Check out the latest comparison on my How Much? page.
