Hi have looked at the thread for how far you commute to work. Ive had my cyclocross bike for around 3 weeks now, ive done some circuits of around 23 mile and ive been to work a few times which is 10 mile each way. I wouldnt say that ive been keeping up with that much fittnes i did some spinning beforhand. How did build up to cycling to work everyday, did u just cycle every day or did you split it one day on two days off. Also is it best to improve on cadence or strength.. Im looking to do more challenges cycle wise maybe some cylocross next season and would love to do john o groats to lands end at some point. Any training advice would be great
cheers
Lisa
