I sneaked out for a quick blast this afternoon on one of my regular routes. On the way round I seemed to be setting a fairly good pace, in spite of a couple of long sections which have just been surface dressed (they've ruined one of my fast bits.
) so I pushed a bit harder towards the end and was rewarded with a new personal best over that route.
I did 22.41 miles in 1h29 which is a 15.1 mph average.
Okay, so I won't win any time trials with that, but it's special to me.

A trip to the bank, just 2.4miles for me today, but the bike I thought was heavy, full mudguards, 32/37mm tyres, heavy Newyork D'lock actually felt light compared to the bikes I have been riding; hopefully means the carbon steed will feel uber light tomorrow!

22 miles commuting today.
Drive 16 miles to a village, park up, bike out of the boot and 7.5 miles to work. Side/head wind so gotta mush on because i only have half an hour. Arrived with 5 mins to spare.
From work...head/side wind..managed to maintain good speed on the headwind section, circa 17 mph on the drops for maybe 2 or three miles, then turning for the tailwind section, 19 to 22 mph on the flat for maybe 3 miles. Sweated like a pig, i absolutely stunk back in the car (well i have had a physical day at work as well).
Just got home, wifes out, so out for a quick circa 7 miler round town.
Overall average today...16.5 mph

All day in the office - delivering a technical seminar to a couple of new engineers. Sore dry throat. Horrible drive home through the centre of London!!!!
Me of old, would have reached for a nice cold lager - new me reached for the bike (son said I'll come with you) and we went for a 10 mile ride around the village, just as we arrived home, fish & vegetables was being put on the table!!!

57 lovely sunny miles drizzly miles with 3 other CC'ers this morning, a hastily arranged mini CC ride around the Cheshire lanes to a lovely little cafe stop at Wheelock.
It started so promisingly, I met SportMonkey at the alotted meeting point, we then became 3 as 400bhp arrived, we all then cycled 10 miles or so to join up with Hacienda71 for the remaining 16 to the cafe.
Drizzly rain seemed like the only dampener() of an other wise decent day, little did I know that a more serious incident was about to happen.
A few miles after the return leg started we hit a bumpy, lumpy, potholed bit of road, 400bhp's bottle came jumping out of the cage and straight under my front wheel
I did my best to stay upright but had no chance, my most spectacular fall yet at around 20mph.
It seemed that apart from a few scrapes and a twisted front shifter, I and the bike had gotten away lightly, but a few miles later the worse happened and as I changed down a couple of gears my rear mech broke off and that was it.
Fortunately the lads had enough fettling skills to sort me out a bodged up single speed fix, for the remaining 25 miles
Hopefully the next one will be more 'boring'
No photos of the incident, but heres one of a 'hazard' we encountered earlier.
