CYCLING LOG: 22-28 April 2013

Fri, Apr 26, 2013 - 20.07 km
20.07 km in 01:05:49 hours at 18.30 km/h on Surly Pacer. To Harpenden for sports massage and back. Winds are reverted to northwesterly, so tailwinds going in (downhill) and headwinds coming back (uphill). Still managed to shave a few minutes off my average time. Temps quite chilly again, especially when clouds passed over the sun. Wore S/S jersey w/ arm warmers, bib shorts w/ leg warmers (all merino), plus PI Elite jacket - just warm enough so long as I pushed. end odo 2269.8
Wed, Apr 24, 2013 - 20.16 km
20.16 km in 01:10:40 hours at 17.12 km/h on Surly Pacer. To Harpenden for Pilates and back. Meeting horses on the road every day the past week - today it was two ponies pulling a trap! Bunnies again too - and no new roadkill so that's all good. Paused for pics in usual place - 3 weeks ago, brown and grey wasteland; today, buds on trees and potatoes starting to blossom in the field. Yay for spring! end odo 2249.7

17.87 km in 01:28:41 hours at 12.09 km/h on Surly Pacer. To the Travel Hub in Dunstable to participate in a photoshoot for Sustrans' and Central Beds Council's joint promotional campaigns on sustainable transport. Lots of cycling past photographers then circling back to do it again. Sunny and warm, mostly in parks - fun day! end odo 2229.5
