Hottest day of the year I think. The closest weather station to me measured 23.8C :)
Expected to wake up with sore legs after my 132km ride yesterday but felt fine so decided to ride in to work rather than drive as planned. Nice cruise in, armwarmers came off after a few miles and even a slight headwind couldn't spoil things.
The ride home got off to a bit of a rubbish start as 3 car drivers tried to kill me as I was heading out of Altrincham (car door opened on me, guy turning right nearly clipped my rear wheel and a silly woman then turned across me forcing me to brake quite hard). Thing soon picked up once I was out of town and the rest of the ride was most enjoyable. I even felt strong enough towards the end of the ride to chase down and pass somebody. He clearly didn't like being passed by a commuter as he sat on my wheel for the next couple of miles @ 30+mph (slightly downhill) before passing me. I was within a mile of home by then so just sat up and span the rest of the way :)
Just waiting for a pizza to cook now!
