I ride home some days. I have free parking in the city, so mrs comes to get the car from her work (also in town) and takes the car. And I ride either to my mothers house in Duncraig (21km) and meet her there, or to her parents house in Joondalup (32km) and meet her there, like I am doing tonight.

I am yet to embark on the 44km journey home, however I did do a 50km ride on Sunday, so I know I can cover the distance no worries. Just not had the opportunity, had planned on doing it tonight, but going to inlaws for dinner, so 32kms it is.

Obviously, I ride up the cycleway on the Mitchell, traffic is pretty steady. Never really go the journey without being passed by a couple of Cadel Evans wannabe's in lycra, and there's heaps of agro on the cycle ways, you'll see that as you start riding more frequently. My bosses ride every day, and they get into verbal stoushes and altercations regularly!
