First roadie group ride in months. Awesome bunch of guys to ride with, loved having some company and some of the impromptu sprints. Great weather this morning (no warmers, yay!).

Off to the trails tomorrow!

Very cool in that colour Tyron

Thanks man! Green bikes are cooler (its just, like, science...), and I seem to be oddly attracted to buying them. Its not super bright in person due to the satin finish of the paintwork, but its loud enough to get noticed.

Thankfully the IDT has arrived now so that’s something, but it doesn’t help much with the taking of pics for the Facebook page [emoji85]

I'm a runner.. But I get out all year and get a decent enough colour and vit d. I guess it's easier to get out for a quick run though

That’s the thing.

My wife runs, and she doesn’t seem to have as many worries about the wind or wet and icy roads so she gets out more than I do.

There are more hardcore riders out there than me for sure, but riding in the country roads I’ve had a gust hit me when passing a farm gate (gap in the hedges) and it really takes that front wheel. I’ve also drifted across the road on a bend when I couldn’t brake harder because the road was wet under some trees [emoji51]

I have enough to deal with [emoji85] without adding a fall to the mix, so I skip the *** days.
