Default First ride back on the bike

Yesterday was crap, I rode to and from work that was it. So today that was it, I kitted up and was ready to improvise, I headed out and ended up sorting myself a nice-ish route in the end. Yesterday I was very shakey and stupidly sweaty when I got on and off. So today I took it easy and built myself up. I coulda done with some company to gauge myself on though.

About 2 hours later on as I got to a bit of road I enjoy back towards Northampton the heavens opened, I felt like I was going quicker than I used to in the wet, it just needs to be flowing and it feels good

Cornering, observations and flowingness seems to improve when you take things easy also, I enjoyed myself a lot more.

This crashing business isn't fun though, I plan not to do it for a while...In the words of the famous Mr Sid Squid
