A blast around the Chilterns


I'm trying to keep my hours down - so working from home today allowed me to have an extended lunch break. I made use of the mild and sunny day and went for a blast around the Chilterns.
My chosen steed was the fixie - yes, it is official, I'm totally barking, but it was a fairly flattish route, with one steep descent! I reckon I must've hit 35mph, with a cadence of 160rpm, before I touched the brakes! But boy, what a workout. 30 miles of continuous pedalling and I loved every single minute of it. It was good to get back home - legs tingling from the effort and a huge appetite for a late lunch.....!
Going to make this part of my winter riding that's for sure!
