Ridden in every day this week (although I admit to taking the office scooter home last night and back in this morning).
legs are pooped.
Took heed of Ianrauk's recent post and decided to make an effort to take a gentle ride home. I set a maximum top speed limit in my mind and stuck below it.
it was really enjoyable, less wind noise, less sweating, less puffing. Weather is smashing down in London and made it all the better.Only actually took me 15 minutes longer than usual (for the full 20 miles including a loop around Hyde park).
However I felt a little exposed at times (on major junctions) by travelling at a lower speed so and felt I had to put my foot down to clear hazards and the like, which was a surprising consequence.
Regardless, I think I shall make this a regular Friday thing.
