A fast one

8 out this morning. Did a flattish route out to Buckden and back - even doing Langbar on the way back in.

For whatever reason, we flew out in a moderate headwind (20-21 mph when I could see) but came back even faster (up around the mid 20s mph at times).

It was a fast group and everyone was keen. It was great fun and that early in the morning there was hardly a car out so we moved at breathtaking (but at times seemingly effortless) pace.

Towards the end though every slight incline was a killer, and going up Langbar saw me firmly at the back of the group, although I was trying hard to keep my HR under control. Great ride.
