GO RabH GO ! Looking at your map reminds me that my Grandma was born in Chapelhall. She was a kind lady with 7 kids.Today I had a truly epic ride in glorious Scottish sunshineThe mercury hit 28C which is very unusual for here, so I didn't quite manage my 100 miler I was hoping for but just over 84 miles so I'm more than happy with that
I was experimenting a little today by using my lower gears more with just eco mode and spinning more and I got home with 21% battery left, not bad considering the distance and over 5000ft of climbing! My total for 2019 is now 2,414 miles from 40 rides which is an average mileage of 60.35 miles!

Quedecree What was the outdoor temperature on this ride?My 'local' ride from home. Weather has been absolutely miserable of late so it was nice to get a reasonable winter's day with some spare time on my hands to go for a ride. It's just over a 30km ride.
Nice looking bike like the fenders and Brooks B17 saddle.After the morning ride, I swung by our local Saturday farmer's market to pick up some fresh greens and veggies for the comming week. I have retrofitted my 2019 Homage with the custom walnut fenders I had made last year, changed out the saddle for a Brooks B17 and swapped the grips for the cork version, giving some relief from the rather severe Teutonic color scheme of the Homage. I think the wood, leather and cork give the bike some much needed warmth of appearance. Besides the wood fenders, need far less adjustment and are so much quieter than the plastic SKS OEM fenders. Why did I wait so long. It so nice to have a quieter bike.
