So, looks as though cycling to work is feasable :-) Thanks to my housemate's knowledge of this area and my own amazing ability to turn down a street other than the one I was actually looking for, I have a reasonable route home which won't necessarily kill me. I only had to walk up two rises today because they were kind of insane, but it beats the last time I tried it and had to walk about half of the way back.
I managed to go most of the way to work today, because what I tried out was riding to where the first few days of work would take place (some golf course, function centre thing where we do professional development for 3 days), and I did that in about 40min so I'd say my estimate of the ride to work being about an hour is reasonably accurate. I'll try doing that at some point in the next fortnight, mostly so that I know which way I'm supposed to go.
Tomorrow, I think i'll cycle into town. It should make the trip a total of 35-40km, but it's a much easier route than what I took today. Fewer hills and all that.
