Thu, Jun 7, 2012 - 6.61 mi [Cycling]
6.61 mi in 00:36:15 hours at 10.94 mi/h on Trek .. [Cycling] Difficult ride home tonight - it had been raining so the roads were wet and as I cycled home the rain increased and turned really quite heavy. Added to this my rear gear cable decided to break and I was stuck in first gear all the way home - hence the max speed of only 16mph.
