I nearly didn't commute to work by bike today as we had a strong WSW wind (i.e. headwind going to work). Anyway, I thought I'd brave it and at times I felt I was going backwards I usually take between 15 and 17 minutes to get to work. Today it took me 20 minutes.

By lunchtime the wind had dropped a bit and was veering round to the West so I had a side-wind on the way home. Bit hairy at times but I managed to get home in 16 minutes (uphill all the way). My best time has been 17 minutes until today and I upped my maximum and average speeds. Must admit my little legs were going like pistons LOL. I must be getting fitter

Told you I'd guarantee your National Cycling Day support from this side of the Pond
