Taking the train, part III
The rain's only been a problem once in three days. The road however wants to knock the fillings out of my teeth in spots.
I've been trying to keep a cadence at 105 rpms, except for the last bit uphill to the house. My best time between the station in Gières and Montbonnot is about 15-16 minutes. I keep forgetting to check the odometer, but the average speed must be fairly high (for me). Couldn't keep the pace up for an hour.
On the train itself, if I catch one that goes from Pontcharra to Gières or vice versa without stopping, the train ride takes only 17-19 minutes. Not even enough to do much reading. Only once has there been plenty of space for all the bikes. So it's less convenient than I'd originally hoped.
Lastly I'm not yet organized enough. Always in a rush when it comes time to catch the train, and the workday seems uncomfortably abridged.
