A fast bike ride

Surprisingly satisfactory round trip to Dawlish this evening over which, my bike computer has it, I managed a solid average of 21 mph. II guess I'm not that surprised. The traffic was flowing smoothly in town and, once I was off the main roads, I definitely noticed that my climbs were faster than usual. Combined with the unexpected arrival of some book swag — a Seanan McGuire novel! — I'm well and truly over yesterday's bout of gloominess.
