Gmaps pedometer reckons it was 17 miles to one of the houses I liked. Ow.
I did it on my road bike which I had not ridden for quite a while. It's a late 80s/early 90s tight, light, 753 handmade full-on road racing frame so it should feel whippy and smart but boy did it feel flabby and unresponsive compared with my fix gear bikes.
