apologies to all decent people.

How realistic is for a totally unfit 45 year old to do a round trip of 12 miles and how long would it take?

Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa

Shouldn't take you more than an hour.

You cycling around the Lea River out your way? Depending on your bike you can take the towpath all the way down to Canary Wharf and then back.

10km along the towpath usually takes about 30 minutes max.

30 mins sounds hopeful! But thanks for the tips (don't know my routes yet - need to get from Walthamstow to Islington occasionally, but the river lee sounds nice - ta)

Good man, loads of cyclists out today :-)

I started doing 5 milers - and now am upto 50 (25 today) without a problem

Dependent on your bike, fitness and route - would expect you to take 60-75 mins.

Let us know how you get on :-)

You can go down the Lea towpath and then change to the Regents canal which goes past Victoria Park and then into Angel - that way you avoid most the roads.

Thanks loads Stokie - don't really fancy wobbling down too many roads if I can avoid them. Appreciate it - I'll look up the route.

It's quite bike dependent. I bought a cyclocross/adventure bike as my road bike would pick up punctures almost daily on the towpath if I used it.

I don't even trust myself to walk along those towpaths, Pecker old fruit! Especially if a few beverages have been consumed. Oh, and don't get me started on the fckn cyclists on there.

Thing is, if you only get to 30, still way better than sitting on your arse all day. The outside (walking, cycling, motorbiking) is so good for your mental health. And lets be honest - everyone is tetchy at the moment - and we are 1 week in....

Is the towpath really rough or something then? I don't have a puncture repair kit or pump yet, so maybe I do the roads for now!

As long as you have a wet suit, you should be ok.

What sort of bike / tyres you got? I wouldn't go on a tow path on a road bike - but would happily go on the road on a mountain bike.

You can also get decent tyres that are nearly puncture proof (Gatorskins?)
