Having just moved and about to start a new job, I tried my commute today. Well, I come from Cambridge, which is in the fens. That is, completely flat apart from the odd bridge. Bournemouth isn't quite like that. I have a 10% climb to deal with, having never cycled a hill in my life!

Still, I get to cycle past a cricket pitch, and a boating lake, and along a quay-side. The hills will just make me a stronger person, right?!
