I flew up to the East side last night on my mountain bike, holding speeds of 25-27mph (hit 28mph max. I think) across the Bloor viaduct - most surprising, I didn't at first understand, but figure I'll steal someone elses line from here "it's not the bike", heh! 29 minutes, a minute slower than my PB on the roadie - both with platforms to boot.

Got the back wheel from the shop yesterday, all true and fixed. Strapped it to the rack, rode east, rode west to home and fitted it ready for today. Must've been the worlds slowest tyre/tube and wheel fitting, I seemed to be in a fog and just bumbled around for about an hour

Rode in on the roadie, holding some nicer speeds on better tyre pressure this time around (low pressures may've been a culprit in my rear wheel damage I suspect) - still got to work in about the same cycling time (16mins).

My (rec) ride to Niagara Falls won't be until tomorrow now, so I get an extra nights rest for my legs (thankful, too - they're starting to feel heavy).

The pannier bungee is still attracted to that road bike back wheel though, so I'm going to have to bungee the bungee away from there.
