This evenings ride

Went out this evening, weather quite mild, not much wind [1]... Average 33.4 km/h - new record, w00t! Previous best 31.8 km/h [2]. In contrast to other rides, I warmed up first and got out of the built up area before starting the clock. Outgoing 10 miles, against the wind and I'm looking at speeds of 30-35 km/h on the computer. Final time for that was 29:45, then I turned round. Har... Return 10 miles in 27:36 and a total time for the 20 miles of 57:21 or thereabouts 🙂 Deliberately chose the country route, so that I wouldn't be troubled with traffic lights and cars. There were a few cars but not many. Now I just need to lose some more weight. [1] = plague of bugs, I lost count of how many I swallowed :-/ [2] Including warming up and built up areas. -- Mike
