• I went to Peaslake today with the 529, I worked out that I should have out the DHR II wheels on around 0.2 seconds after I rode out of the carpark. However, the NN/HD hung on fairly well and I had fun, mention of the day has to go to the MT500 onesie which is a simply phenomenal bit of kit for riding in wet conditions - I'm seriously impressed with it.

    I think I'm going to clean the bike down before it goes on the roof in future, which means taking (quite a lot of) water with me, but it'll be worth it as it'll mean that I don't cover myself in mud putting the bike on the rack, and it should be clean to use again the next time - as it stands I got home after dark and was insufficiently motivated to get the pressure washer out.
