Last week, Bo cycled from home to work, while I drove in. Since we moved office, we're now working in another county, which is about 6 times further than our previous office. Bo did the 10 km trip in 32 minutes.
There's not much bike paths so he had to go on the roads. I thought it was a bit dangerous. Especially when I cycled for the first time from work to home that day. I wasn't planning on doing that but Bo proposed a bet, that I couldn't do the trip in less than 1 hr. Of course, I didn't think I was that much out of shape, so I couldn't refuse. What I didn't take into account was the long stretch of uphill that I had to climb. But I persevered and push on hard. At the end, even though I wasn't in tip top shape, I managed it in 42 mins! My legs were feeling a bit stiff afterwards, but I recovered fully the next day. Though my butt was still sore from riding on the bumpy road.

You won the bet anyway! Congrats on that. But ya, cyclists on the road freak me out bec. I'm always worried that I'll hit one with a side mirror or something.
