I finally got out on a ride agian too yesterday. With travelling (Wedding in WI, hiking in Wales), I've been off the bike for two weeks. So after work I changed into my brand new cycling shorts and shoes and took my new seat out for a test ride. Did my usual 18mile detour to the train home from work. Up over the highest peak in the county (a huge 100m above sea level!). Weather looked great when I started, but just as I came over the peak the winds picked up and then it started to pour. I was drenched and frozen by the time I reached the bottom and very annoyed at having strong headwinds when I could be whizzing down the only big hill for miles around. Then the sun came out again and I was more or less dry by the time I got to the station.

New shorts were nice, and the shoes. Seat seemed ok, but still needs a bit of adjusting. I'm ready to take a detour on my way home again today to try new adjustments and another of my new cycling shorts.
