Back on the trusty old Giant CRS 1.0 Hybrid, first ride since September 2018! I've had it for over 12 years and it has never let me down, I even managed to cover 120 miles on it and crashed head on into a kid on a mountain bike 50 yards from home!
I had to pick a day with a 20mph headwind but at least it was dry, I felt like I was going backwards for the first 10 miles!

I'm not going to lie, this climb up to here hurt
but the descent sure was fun!

It felt so alien after riding my e bike for such a long time but after a few miles it started to feel more like normal, I might get brave and attempt a 50 miler on Sunday! My last ride on it before this was a 58 miler so hopefully I am still strong enough! The strangest thing is lifting it, it feels like a feather compared to my e bike!
584 miles now covered this month, hoping to take it over 600 on Friday if my legs have recovered!
The rim brakes take a bit of getting used to again after having disc brakes for so long, they are fine in the dry though!
