Ride home felt good, slow-ish going up the Sherbourne hill and I overdid it a little going across Bloor (see below) so got a tad out of breath for the residential short-cut from Danforth to Cosburn though that's an ideal 'rest' time anyway. 37 mins, 13.1mph avg.

I came upon around 8 other cyclists once I got to Bloor, most of the time was spent moving, so no real chat time but was a definite spur for me to dig in a little more and try and fly.. Only, one guy came up behind me (I was doing about 23mph/~36kmh) and this guy was flying - out of the saddle, really giving it some - he surprised me so much when I glanced back that I did a slight speed wobble - he wasn't there one minute, then was passing me the next - was awesome, never got chance to say Hi, but admirable speed! His bike looked like a commuter (hybrid I think), not a roadie too.
