I haven't got the official times yet, but it looks as though I took 1m37s off my 10 mile PB this evening - 25m35s to 23m58s. Quite glad I didn't go for the 25 mile option - it started raining towards the end of my ride, started bucketing it down during my warm down, and by the time I was taking my race number off (sitting in the car) the rain was (1) torrential (2) horizontal (3) enlivened by lots of thunder and lightning.
I suspect the wind (headwind on the way out, tailwind on the way back) picked up during the ride, but don't tell anyone...
