Ride what? A bike, horse, cow, motorbike?

If, as I assume your referring to a bike, then it will depend entirely on how fit you are, but 10 miles should be easily possible given enough time.

and yes they is some :beer:

?? don't understand.

bltchef

Again depends on the terrain and types of roads. I would suggest doing a couple of practice runs first to get a feel for the route and how long recovery time you need before starting work.

I used to do 10 miles in circa 40 minutes, however this was in London which is fairly flat so no big hills

bltchef

I don't do any other exercise and, after maybe a week of "building up to it" (only cycling alternate days), I found that it was quite easy to cycle around 35 miles off-road (cross-country)...

It will be easier on tarmac so you'll be able to travel further (depending on fitness and how light/efficient your bike is) but a lot more stressful if you have to contend with the vast numbers of dangerous/reckless drivers on the road.

The only think that would put me off (other than stupid drivers) is how hot & sweaty you'll be when you arrive and how much stuff you'll have to carry with you (change of clothes, a few litres of water, etc.).
