It was fricking cold! Didn't really feel it on the ride to Boxhill, but on the ride to Newlands and home, I was definitely a bit chilly.
To think- I considered wearing my summer gloves today! Duh! Glad I didn't...
The Ranmore road was in fairly good nick, considering- though the 10% downhill and hard right at the bottom was the usual arris clencher...
Other roads- A25 for instance, were pretty bad in places. Lets hope the councils repair all the winter damage fairly soon.
Really got to test all the bits that have been done on the bike over the last 6 weeks today- really feels great now that the bike's pretty much sorted for handling. New discs are fully bedded in now too- thankfully, as I had a near emergency stop when I spotted that a car had stopped at a crossing just that little bit late.
