I just randomly decided to go for a cycle, I got 15 miles done, I could have done more, but had to turn back since the hedges were being trimmed and there were thorns and all sorts of planty bits I didn't want to cycle over.
I got my fastest average so far, 17.2mph. Not going to win any awards for that, but I was quite pleased since I didn't really push myself that hard.
Not sure how I will manage to get ~25mph in a time trial
I had 2 incidents though, a woman pulled out on me at a roundabout, I stopped with about 1.5ft to spare, she didn't even realise what she did, and someone overtook me, then immediately turned left across me.
However, the number of drivers who went into the opposite lane to overtake and gave me loads of space, more than makes up for those 2 minor incidents.
