Ride up to the east end to visit my daughter was fun, and the first "long" run on the roadie (now fitted with cyclocomputer). Made it up there in about 34 mins, which isn't too shabby. On the final .25mi of the journey I decided to gun it and see what I could do, managed to sprint to 27mph before having to slow down (flat ground, but smooth surface). Having drops is a godsend in wind, too - being able to have that tucked position is wonderful.
Ride home from there via a stopoff at a buddies place en route, ride home was 35 mins and felt nicely fast - average of 17.2mph routeslip tells me, cyclocomputer tells me 16.7 but either way, it's a lovely ride and I'm probably going to run it for the week and see how I get on. My usual averages for the home journey are around 12-13mph.

Definitely think I need to get some in-line levers for the top of the drops, though - don't like riding in the drops downtown in traffic due to being seen/being able to see.
