  • Ride report (not as brief as previous one).
    Got a good night's kip, didn't set an alarm, up before 7, leisurely breakfast, couple of HTBs, got meself ready, got pink bike ready, loaded provisions (2 rollies, 1 banana, 1 wiggle size bag of haribo), out for 9ish.
    Wasn't sure I was feeling up for a hilly ride, so set off on a lightly undulating cruise. A decision needed to be made as I got closer to Goosetry, head towards Jodrell Bank, or head out towards Macc Forest, MF won.
    It was lovely out, I had nothing to get back in a rush for, so Wincle was my chosen destination. Got hollered at in Sutton, by a forum member (sorry pal, forgot your name, if you read this, post a comment) who had been reading this here CP thread and recognised Pink bike, was good to meet you and have a brief chat.
    Took Ridge Hill up past Hanging Gate, nice view towards Shutlingsloe, down into Wincle.
    Wincle Brewery is a fine place for a rest and a HTB and a bit of cake (this ride was over 30 miles, so cake is allowed). 1 rollie, 1 brew (bag left in), and a piece of their chocolate and stout brownie, fuckin ell it's good!
    Refueled and ready to go again. Took the road leading to Rushton Spencer, quick slog up the main A road, off towards the Knot Inn, up towards The Cloud, quick stop for a pic of the bike with Jodrell Bank in the background, down into Congleton, and home.
    Lovely.

    Bike report.
    Fantastic, bloody love it, could maybe go down a tyre size (from 1.9 to 1.75), but will have a few more rides before that decision is made, need to adjust front derailleur, friction shifting is wonderful, only mashed a couple of gear changes, but I'll get use to it.
    Couple of bike pics, and a HTB/cake/rollie pic.
    Hope you're all having a splendid weekend, I am.
