Finally managed to get out on the bike today, what a great bike!

So, up to the Downs we go,

Chilly north easterly, but the Sun was out!

Nice view east, towards Devil's Dyke. Just visible above the nose of the saddle. Then onto my favourite singletrack testing ground.

Such a smooth ride over the roots, followed by a stony section, fantastic!

Then along the South Downs Way to Chanctonbury Ring

Lovely views up here, can you make out the North Downs on the horizon? Around 30 miles away.

Looks great, doesn't it, just riding over leaves?

BUT, under these leaves are a tricky section of roots, hard to see. Thank goodness it was dry today.
Heading home now, Sun going down.

This bike feels ace! Very comfortable, everything working smoothly.

So pleased, I can't tell you.

That looks great! I think the colour coordination works really well, and it just looks like it should, if that makes sense?

Re:

Thanks fella

Sometimes, being slim can be a bad thing, look at this period kit.

Just seen some on eBay,
