Yesterday can only be described as a beautiful summers day. I was stuck in the office (clock watching) ready to make my escape and leap on the bike as soon as the time was right. I left the office just after 5pm, went back to the hotel, changed into my bike clothes and went for it!! It was great cycling with a steady 10kt wind from the north. The route was a clockwise loop, 33.3 miles, 2hr 13 mins,max 23.9mph, average 14.9mph. Spoke to Joe yesterday - he was sent home from school as he felt sick, so unfortunately canceled his evening ride with his cycling mate Jake. Strange though, it did not stop him going fishing with his older brother on the boat ;).......
