Haven't been around the forums too much recently - that's a good thing though, means nothing has gone wrong with the bike!
Unfortunately the weather has been absolute shit for a few weeks now with over night lows below freezing, daytime highs around 10C, and mad wind, so I haven't done much pleasure riding. Decided to say screw it yesterday as days are limited and went for a three hour ride out of town. Temperature was perfect but man, that wind. More than a few times I thought I was going to have to get off the highway and wait it out for a bit, crosswind bursts were pushing me around hard. After a half hour or so we finally changed direction and it was bearable going into the wind in a full tuck.
Still, an enjoyable ride all things considered. Ended up stopping at a nice little river - next year I plan on figuring out how I can secure my fishing rod to my bike.
