Hi all,


I thought I'd post an update. I've indeed shaved off 5 minutes! Thanks to everyone who posted constructive suggestions.


What worked so far is: a) getter better quality, even slicker tires (and I probably had a slow leak in my front tube), and b) lowering and pushing forward my handlebars.


This commute is mostly along trails, so not much stopping. I had thought that 2 years of doing it would build my endurance naturally, but i'll be trying some interval training next to further build my strength. I'll also try the power grips toe straps that someone suggested.


Cheers all.
