April 25 Rides

[RoadRaven]

April 25 was a lovely day, overcast but not too cold (though a very cool early morning).

ANZAC Day is a day where we all try to do something together... this was the first year my daughter couldn't join us as she is at university, but the rest of us went for a walk up our hill.

But before we all did that, my partner and I did just under 20kms - I was testing my two race bikes due to minor changes, and we just rode back and forth along the road frontage of our farm. I don't get many riades with him, so these moments are precious.

I had such high hopes for a fun ride. The weather was beautiful, but about 5 miles into it, my chamois started bunching in the most undesirable way. Weird, I have 2 pairs of the exact same knickers, one is still fine, and one has begun this little torture trick. Guess they're wearing out. Still rode the ride I was planning, but everything was a little off. It's time to go shopping.

Do love the new shims I put in my brifters! Before, in the drops, I could just reach the brakes with my middle fingers. Now I can easily use all of them. Big improvement!

All in all, not my best day on a bike. Funny how one inch can demand so much attention.

Chuckle. Ain't that the truth.
