Another cracking ride tonight. I know I keep posting about my increasing speed at the minute so apologises for the same old same old, but the legs are just buzzing at the minute. Posted a 22.3mph average for the 31 mile trip tonight, giving me a 21.5 average for the day over 68 miles.
The forecast looks a bit naff for first thing tomorrow, may even be on the hack, we shall see.
Very good going. I'd never manage that as the 10 miles in and out of Manchester translate to averages between 16mph-17.5mph. I imagine you have a more free flowing commute!
Around 6C this morning which is a nice riding temp. Gentle headwind, must have been a light Northerly.
Saw a tractor in the distance coming down past Tatton and chased it for all I was worth. Luckily it was doing low 20s and I was coming down a steady gradient. I knew I'd make the catch as it was causing a growing tailback of cars. When I got about 10 metres behind the last car in the queue, the bloody thing turned off - how inconsiderate is that!
Sadly, a sturdy looking horse that I had seen for the last year in a field next to traveler site has gone - he was out all through winter and I would say "hello" to him. Hopefully, he has moved on and not gone to the giant stable in the sky...
I was in a marked cycle lane and the traffic was stationary and I took the risk without thinking. As I passed the traffic moved and the hgv started to drift into the cycle lane. I had to hammer it to get past. The driver sounded his horn as I flew out in front of him. Could have kicked myself for being such a prat. It isn't going to happen again.
as I've a day off 
, so I went and did my 4th imperial century of the month, 
now up to 22, only another 6 years or so to get to the 100 100s 
Or, you might just end up like me and be past it by then!
