Today was my first proper ride of the year today, and the first proper ride on the Singular Peregrine. Nicky wanted to do another 17 miles before the end of the month so after procrastinating with the aid of toast and coffee for a few hours to avoid the rain we ended up heading out along the cycle track towards Saltford.
Leaving the track at Saltford we headed up the Double Gravity climb, looped round through the back of Keynsham, picked up the cycle track again and then headed into town to top up the miles. We arrived back home after 20.5 miles in pretty much two hours dead just as the rain started again.
The Peregrine worked superbly now that I’ve fettled the brakes a bit more, it still weighs a ton but thanks to that it was fantastically stable on the downhill bits of the route. Despite woolly socks and toe covers, I still ended up with cold toes though.
Great that Nicky managed to drag you out :)
I needed to do it. The extra encouragement from Nicky was enough to get me out and about.
It’s good to have someone to drag you out. Has been helping me recently. I’m slowly feeling like a cyclist again.
