Feeling smug...

Normally I get an average of 15 to 16mph on my way to work (23 hilly miles) and about an average of 13.5 on the way back. I don't know why this is, whether it is because I'm more energetic in the mornings, whether it is hillier on the return (don't think so, it seems to average out either way) or whether it's just because I'm not in a rush.

But today... I got a 15mph (",) woo hoo! 1 hr 37 mins over 25 miles. So not only did I get a personal best, but I did it over 25 miles instead of 23 miles (going to my mums!). 2 miles further and a good 5 mins less. And I didn't have a tail wind. Had a slight headwind, but even with tail winds before still haven't done that time.

I feel smug (",)

Mmmm... either using the winter (heavier) bike a bit further into the spring has helped... or the thought of my mum's faggot and chips got me home quicker!

I think everyone seems to be quicker than me. I never get anything like 15mph when the hills kick in.
