FAST!

Took the race bike. More fun in hot weather. Traffic was so slow I twice went for the fast lane (left one) on a 4 lane road. Not sure how smart/safe that was, but did it anyway. Adrenaline pumping. All different to slow and easy stroll down bike track with the "mule" bike.

Got honked twice for taking the lane on a 4 lane road. There were holes and debris, had to go a bit to the middle. Once by an angry lorry driver (they get annoyed when they have to switch lanes to overtake a bicycle). Once by a woman driving a caravan Opel. She was about to turn right some 50 meters ahead (just as I was), and was probably not happy I was there, don't know. She had one whole empty lane to the left, just for her.
