12°C, rain

Only rode 32 miles, but I ran out of light, tyre pressure and time. Southport seafront, in strong winds and piercing rain is not the best place to fix an inner-tube. I am still waiting to ride this on a still day. For now, it desperately needs mudguards, the chain was soaked and gritty and actually, so was my back.

The gearing seemed okay today. Perhaps I am simply getting stronger. It’s probably best for short rides, that is less than 40 miles I’d say. The riding position is fine though ideally, a wider pair of handlebars would suit be better.
