Yesterday, had the most varied day of riding yet.
Started off taking Harriet the B5 to work. Was running late, so I hit some of the main roads - 60-65mph no problem, and 70 when necessary.
Thick fog and rain came down half way into the hour long ride - I was soaked to the skin, and my boots were filled with water!
Weather cleared up by the end of the day, and had some time to kill, so decided to choose the smallest, windiest route I could find on the map to head home. Ended up having my first ever off-road adventure - rocky gravel tracks/streams/mud/sheep/cows/steep gradients up and down...
Arrived back in Cardiff, so some stop/start city riding, including a jetwash to get her nice and shiny again.
Treated her to a chain clean/lube, and an oil top up back in the garage.
All day long, she didn't miss a beat - was comfortable, trustworthy, exciting, and took everything in her stride.
Man, I love this bike.
