The wind. Yesterday I battled E to W (Dartford to Chelsea Bridge) via Pall Mall, it was soooooo windy I had to pedal hard to get down a small hillock in Belvedere. Crazees.
Mind you I used it to my advantage on the way back, for the 1st time ever I 'did' Shooters Hill on my fixed Dawes. I had to stop 2/3 of the way up to stop my heart from try to break my ribs from the inside. But I didn't give in and walk, oh no, I rode up the rest of the way. Thank you Mr Wind for some payback. Going down the other side was fun, 34.98mph, thats close enough to 35 for me, double whahey!
