I tried a few tools to plot my cycle route into work. Bike Hub seemed the best, but the results seemed off-puttingly complicated, so I plumped for cycling the route I would drive.
However, I did find out from the tools that the route was about 7miles, and would take about 45 minutes cycling at 12mph, which is a reasonable commuting speed.
My ride in has settle down to about 32 minutes, which felt rather too fast if the suggested route data was right. So I have looked out a tool to measure my route, and have a much clearer idea of the facts now.
This is my route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com
It is 5.5 miles, which means I am averaging 10.3 miles an hour (calculated with this tool).
So - I am perhaps not so fit as it might have seemed, but the ride will feel less intimidating when I am really tired in the mornings (evening are always easier - I'm heading home!).
I do feel sorry for anyone following the recommended routes however - much longer...
