1151

Not fully comprehending where the past two months have gone - work has been hectic as ever, which probably explains it.

It took around a month to process and upload my transatlantic trip pictures to flickr (I condensed 2,500 images down to 1,151) - they can be viewed here.

back!

After 5 and a half weeks away (including 17 days on the Atlantic Ocean, and three weeks in the US), I am back! Comments on how to travel across the Atlantic by container ship (and why you should) and the best cocktails on Queen Mary 2 to follow.

Shotley - Oyster Reach - Shotley

Bike: Condor
Distance: 15.37 miles
Time: 43 minutes 09 seconds
Average speed: 21.3 mph
Maximum speed: 32.0 mph
Odometer (at end): 6101.8 miles

Not doing much in the way of training and virtually no racing at the moment ... will try and get a handful of TTs in before I head off to America in August, but the priority is - bah! - work...

Today: lovely weather - a bit too hot (heat haze obscured Felixstowe docks across the river for much of the afternoon), and a headwind on the return leg of this ride. I reached the turn in ~19 minutes - the return leg took five minutes longer...
