Fast ride home today I shaved maybe 8-10% of my time by pushing myself the whole way.
Two incidents of note:
1. Cars, if I'm going the speed limit or above don't feel like you have to pass me. I'm doing an indicated 28 in a 20 zone and this truck has two squeeze around me.
2. Real pucker incident, going down a big hill the truck that just passed me 2 minutes before slams on it's breaks hard. My rear tire locks up and slides me sideways before I back off the brake and correct.
