Got in from work sensibly early today so decided to go for it. Had a steady ride for a couple of miles before hitting a likely candidate road for first attempt. Probably not best choice as it wasn't most smooth but gave it my best shot. Shit! exactly 29.8 AGAIN. Carried on to Greenwich Park via Vanbrugh Hill - see S London Hill thread - stopped for a brew and then headed home. Wind was a bit in my face but around Eltham / Blackfen borders came to one of my favourite stretches of road. Slight downhill incline and nice fresh road surface but still wind in my face.
This time though I went for it good and propper. Hit the bouncy speed so knew I was getting there. Powered through that and hit a real sweet rhythm. Mission accomplished.
