Well that looks interesting! How is the ventilation? I like that light in the back.

Ventilation hard for me to tell at present...there are two ventilation slides I have closed...the helmet does sit lower on my forehead (safety?) so it’s more difficult to get into an aero set. I like the face shield (as u must already know). I wear no glasses but it’s roomy enough for them.

Im not entirely sure what I was thinking, Im blaming sand blindness, I strangely thought it would just glide down and gently drop on its side.
Well it survived anyway.

The weather forecasters mixed the days up again, it was supposed to be dry yesterday but it was very wet! Today they changed their mind from heavy rain to possible light rain around midday but looking at the sky I wasn't so sure, but I decided to chance it! 20 miles in and long before they said the rain was due I could see a biq squall headed my way and I could feel the rain in the air so I quickly altered my route and attempted to outrun the rain!
I was almost successful but with 35mph gusts I wasn't going to win this race, thankfully I did make the right decision though and only got a little wet! I got home right on midday and quickly washed the bike, I could feel the rain coming but managed to get it inside before it really came down! I'm so glad I decided to chance it though and managed another 50 miler, any rides at this time of year are a bonus, almost 300 miles covered this month so I'm not complaining! Not many photos today, it wasn't a day for it!

The tangled forest …
The eagle-eyed amongst us might notice that Homage's new trunk bag seems to be getting along with a pannier. I hardly needed that amount of load space on a short ride! (Just trying it out for post-2020 adventures.)

The day was almost over and the rain had eased up. Time for a brief ride through the refreshingly green bush close to home.The eagle-eyed amongst us might notice that Homage's new trunk bag seems to be getting along with a pannier.

Possible snow on 27th December! I hope its not a high bridge with big crosswinds, they are very scary, I know from experience!

I bought a fifteen quid Zoom suspension seatpost and a 5 pound seat from Home and Bargain.
It actually works really well, takes out the jarring hit from unexpected terrain elevations...( tree stumps)..and makes for a ride thats easier on the backside.
You would think that soft fatbike tyres would give plenty of cushion , but in reality a thin tyre cuts through the sand and a fat tyre just slaps hard on the surface.
I also derailled the chain for the first time and dont think it was connected to the seatpost installation, though maybe I was going a bit quicker over the rough stuff.
Good day, it rained, I nearly killed the bike in the vid above, a few new chain noises and I power washed it without it trying to escape across the forecourt like my other bike did on one memorable day when presumably a stray water drip bridged the throttle wires on the pcb.
From now on though.
