"At last I had done this trip that had defeated us all those years ago,
although as I was out of beer, I had to get into the car and in
somewhat of a daze trudge around the local supermarket.

"101 miles in 6 hrs 15 minutes. Average 16.2mph."

Ouch. I wish I could go that fast that far. And it also needs to be
said, chickens, that wasn't his rolling average. That was his total
average including stops, including the stop to fix the broken pedal. So
his rolling average was a good bit more.

_Respect_.

No, I allowed for the break - the time was my actual riding time. I
must come clean :-)
