Very happy right now :)

I have been doing this particular piece of road for about 3 years or so
now - you know the one I am talking about, that one with the long lonely
dark stretch.

Well, it is 13.8kms with lotsa flat bits and a bit of a climb in the
last 300m or so and try as I may and try as I might, my best time over
the years has been 32 minutes (usual range 34-38mins).

That is until tonight I finally cracked 30 minutes and yes, I cheated
by using the Cannondale which allowed me to maintain a relatively high
cadence throughout the ride by judiciously selecting the right gears.

I could have had been a bit quicker except for the road being a bit wet
and I did stop for the traffic lights as I normally do.

I am happy

I doubt I'll ever do 30mins again as I'll be back on my everyday bike
from tomorrow. Never mind - at least I know I cracked it once
