Managed to get my first decent run out of the year this morning (well about 60 miles) and was it nice!
Have been riding all through the winter (but only urban commuting) so was relieved that gears four and up still worked
But I'm sure the roads have got worse since even last year - every road I tried I seemed to be following endless banding right where I wanted to be.
Spent most the afternoon giving it a good clean - that Autosol stuff somebody recommended is brilliant - cleared the downpipes of a years worth of ridng in about 30 mins.
