I had my fill of close pass rage before even getting to the start! (Thanks lady w child in SUV in Peckham) So everything after that felt less life threatening I guess. However, I have noticed that I am riding on the pavement more and more, when sensible, as cycling safety advocates always say the only way to be protected from tonnes of distracted, fast moving metal boxes is separation, and the curb does the best job of that for me at the moment.
@ElGonzo nice to see you, yeah I got lucky, on a guy's wheel (non audaxer) just after leaving that control and did half that headwind section at 20mph. Gave him a very heartfelt thank you when he turned off!
The afternoon bit was definitely my favourite of the day, but got carried away enjoying it and limped the last 15km so bad in a bonked daze.
