Sunburn and speed

Easter Sunday saw me cycling out to Rother Valley Country Park to meet rest of family there. I can't recall such warm, sunny weather over an Easter weekend and I was unprepared for it. Quite sunburnt afterwards!

I didn't fancy the TPT and so stuck to the tarmac via ring road, White Lane, Mosborough and Killamarsh. Was amazed the see my average speed when I arrived (after nearly 12 miles) as 21.7 MPH. Bloody Hell!! I usually potter around the 13-14 MPH mark. Was obviously going well.

The stiff headwind on the return journey quickly brought me back down to Earth :-)
