Free-wheeling into oblivion...

As it was sunny when I got home this evening I thought I would blow the cobwebs out on my favourite 10 mile (ish) round trip.
Set off and pootled gently to the end of the road and then got a bit carried away (yes I know I should have warmed up properly
)
5 miles came up in 15:17
Round the roundabout at Hurn village and then I realised why I had averaged almost 20mph despite 3 sets of traffic lights and 2 roundabouts, and rush hour traffic... it was a little breezy ! The 5 miles back took 18:55 and was bloody hard work, but my legs held up, despite my 50 miler yesterday.
Average speed over the 10.89 miles was 16.9mph, which is a record for me on that ride.
Going to have another go tomorrow night... That 20mph average is calling me.
(I did cool down gently afterwards and did lots of stretches - will warm up properly tomorrow as I will be riding to work and back so will head out as soon as I get home.)
