Went on a ride this morning.
Left home at 7am got home around 1pm. It's nice to come back after riding and still have most the day! I should do that more often.
Was nice to miss all the traffic in the AM spin, as soon as 11am rolled around all the drivers took to the roads so the last legs was a bit naff. But the route was nice, rode past a few NT sites, saw loads of sheep / cows, rode some hills and some primo gravel in WRYE forest.
Bike is running really well, it's nice to ride a light capable bike for once. Trp cx9s put disc brakes to shame with their stopping power. Not much modulation though, but you get used to being light on the brakes.
I changed the poor rolling 37c pathfinders for 28c gp4s and I was glad I did, though they were were quick they were unforgiving...new tyres are definitely on the card - ultradynamico or SimWorks Volummy or the classic gravelking slicks depending on budget.
Other things to do include:
Cut steere. Cut seatpost. New wheels. New bars. Sram force 2x10? (1x10 was more than fine today). Tubeless.
please don't mention the no bar tape (or non DS photo), I'm waiting for the @Hulsroy drop and I'm thinking of polishing up the bars to "match" the rest of the silver.
Overall a great day.
