For the hills Stefan, always the damned hills 😓 That and wanting a new toy :)

Found a new game to play on the bike which will drive me nuts I am sure. The master mind display on the 5.0 has km/h front and centre and difficult to ignore. I have a 700M very flat, smooth and quiet road 30 secs from my house and I cannot help trying to see what number I can push it too. Got...
