Just went for my usual daily 10 mile cycle after a 2-day break. Really steep hill at the beginning that usually knocks me out was no bother. Just flew up it. Average speed of 14.5Mph and I wasn't even trying! I don't know what's happened but it's brilliant!!!

I have no idea what's going on here.

    The wind stopped :-)

    Some days you fly and others you just can't get going, never worked out why.

    I actually had a really strong headwind for the majority of the ride! I'm so happy though. I really enjoyed it because my legs weren't screaming at me the whole time! It's so nice to be able to ride up a steep hill with hardly any effort.

    I'm just wondering how long this'll last though....

    a real stiff headwind and improved performance dont really go together, you probably had a stiff tailwind that literally gave you a helping hand all the way up and you had a rest before going out.........these would add up to better performance.
