Took the new geared frame that I've been building up out for a first proper run this morning. Felt great to be finally riding it after having it sit around the garage, garden and house since just after Christmas.
Had a bit of an "Oh Shit" moment going down a hill when I hit a small pothole and the handlebars slipped round a bit in the quill stem giving me a Lo Pro stance on the hoods when I really didn't need one. Sorted it out and re-tightened everything else up as well just in case.
40 miles of cloud, rain and then finally some sunshine just as we were getting back to town.
