Had a trip out today - with an idea to up my mileage a bit more.
I went from Solihull across to Earlswood lakes (via back lanes), then down to Tanworth In Arden (steep hill on the way in, but rewarded with a fantastic 4 mile downhill stretch towards Henley In Arden, definitely won't do that hill in reverse), refuelled at Henley but was then defeated on the hill from Henley to Preston Baggot - got off and walked for the first time in ages. But the other side of that hill gave me a personal best of just over 30mph, before having to turn off to the lanes to Lowsonford, feeling knackered by then so headed directly back up via Packwood House and Knowle, constantly up and down the hills though, very glad to get home with a total of 35 miles, another personal best - but I think my next few outings will be a bit shorter. My average speed is still low as the hills slow me right down still.
