32 miles on the way home last night, including an ascent of Chain Hill which, with two heavy panniers and what turned out to be a soft back tyre (started the day at 90psi, was 55psi when I got home!) was significantly harder than last time with a relatively unencumbered bike!!
The final stages included a dry-weather descent of Streatley hill, and before I chickened out and hit the brakes, I did get up to 46.4mph!! Felt quite quick on a bike :)
