Not a great deal to be said about this very windy day. Obviously a training ride, some would say, and given the strong wind and no toe clips or gears I think his time is satisfactory.
I should just mention his reference to tramlines. Tramlines are my word, not his. He always refers to them throughout his journals as ‘carlines’. No doubt because in those days the tramcars rode on them. But I have seen fit to change any reference to ‘carlines’ into ‘tramlines’ to avoid any confusion with the internal combustion cars of today. All 30+ million of them!
Hi,
There’s a slight typo. in the link. Corrected link.

Thanks John,
You beat me to posting the correct link (and I was feeling very pleased with myself for finding it — a first for someone who grew up well before the internet age). However you had a seven-hour time zone advantage…

Thank you gents. I have added back the missing ‘h’, so the link is working correctly now. You are obviously enjoying the challenge, perhaps we need to add some more tricky problems for you to solve!
