Went for another run of the loop that I posted here a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome. Edited a small section of the route by Dormansland that made all the difference, making it lanes almost all the way. It was sunny and warm, bit of a stiff breeze, but I was helped as much as hindered. Flew down Gangers Hill. Smashed the section before Cowden at pace, which was glorious. With some new wheels I felt like I was dancing on the pedals up some of the inclines, which was a strange (but good) sensation. I had thoughts about going up chalk pit lane and humbling myself before riding back, but the station called and I decided not to taint my ride with a boring roll back into town. Much quicker than last time too due to almost zero route faffing.
A good day.
