Ate a tin of grapefruit at 1400 and left work at 1500 with a 35mph direct
headwind to contend with. Thanks to thirty six's advice, I started with a
very high cadence of around 90 rpm. After about six miles I was cooking on
gas and pulling 20 mph into the wind with great ease. Then I got help up a
tad by these roadworks.

After that delay caused by drivers, I pinned it at 25mph, despite the wind.
About a mile from home I eased off and rode up the 70ft high "hill" back
home again. I will probably have herring, channa dahl, dark chocolate,
carrot cake and tinned mandarins before I set off home at 1500 today. One
more day tomorrow then a weekend of walking beckons again.

It beats wasting all my evenings and weekends hunched up posting trolling
messages nobody ever reads.



Absolutely fascinating
