Joining the Commuting Club

I'm really excited for this.

My new Caad 8 is due to be delivered on Saturday, picking up my helmet this evening and have a couple of jerseys/shorts arriving over the next couple of days and hopefully my first commute will be on Monday.

So, instead of sitting on a packed train trying to read the Metro (newspaper), I'll be flying down the coast and jumping on the ferry with free tea and coffee. Ideal.

Sounds like a blast, I wish my route involved words like 'coast' and 'ferry' and 'free coffee'

If it's typical free coffee, it's worth every penny. :-D
