This bike took me on a very enjoyable solo overnighter south of Bristol on Saturday-Sunday. A route cobbled together from some bits I knew, two Komoot suggestions edited and added together (manually, not sure if there's an automated way to do it) and then some more bits I knew, which worked out ok but definitely wasn't perfect. I enjoyed working it out on the fly though, exploring lanes and dead ends and too many gates, and know what I'll do differently next time. Had a pub burger and then bivvied in a little copse, bit close to a road but otherwise fantastic. Got to 100.03km thanks to mistakes!
What I learnt: it might be time to go tubeless. A visit from the fairy on both days, one front one rear. I also need a Jack the Rack or similar to stop the bar bag occasionally rubbing the front guard/tyre. They're not yet on general sale though.
