I took my bike into work on la voiture and rode home. I work next to Gatwick airport and basically I tanked up the jolly old A23 to Coulsdon then veered off to Wallyville, the direct, non-scenic route.
What a wicked ride - I can't believe how much I enjoyed zipping along with the traffic, which was almost all exceedingly well behaved. They gave me room at narrow points on the road and no one tried to take me on a bend. Consequently I rattled along at a fair old whack by my standards, covering the 18 mile journey door to door in 1hr and 9 seconds, including stops for traffic lights etc.
Was it just me or was there hardly a breath of wind this evening...? Maybe, just maybe I caught the magick eternal tail wind all the way home...
It's bloody good FUN this cycling lark!

. I would do the whole thing by bike but I carry a laptop and clothes etc.
