10°C, sunny out but bands of drizzle in the afternoon, light S wind.

In the morning, feeling lively, I took on some hills – Dalton and Bannister. The Arrow is great for long steady miles. The steel frame soaks up the bumps along with 28C tyres set to 70psi. That was a nice ride, not even the rain made it cold.

The frame needs some attention. There are some rusty pits hidden beneath one of the tubes.
