My first ride of note in a while today and what a day to return! A new bike to shake down and a knee issue to test whether it had been dealt with meant a trip down to some familiar Kent lanes.
It was gloriously warm, though I overdressed and had pockets bulging with arm warmers, gloves, jackets, snow shoes...
The good news is the bike's a joy to ride and had me grinning ear to ear as it willed me to push it as fast as I could. The bad news is that the knee issue is still here, so fast wasn't very fast at all. Hey ho, back to the stretches and foam roller torture.

I passed some BC riders as I came down Hogtrough Hill. Smiles all round, so guessing it was a good ride.
