A New Record

I set a new record getting to work today. Thanks to following some other cyclists and a little bit of experimentation, I made the 5.5 mile trip in 20 minutes 15 seconds (keep in mind this is going through London at morning rush hour). This is the first time I have followed this magic new route, and I think I can even improve on that time a little. My previous record was 27 minutes to bike to work, so you can see what an improvement this is. For your entertainment, (or in case you ever need to get from Forest Hill to London Bridge) here is a map of the route…

Note: there is a bit of a loop at the beginning of the route. This slight detour is necessary to avoid a giant hill!
