The second to final test ride

I went on the second to last test ride. So far I have ridden 221kms which is probable not far enough! I have to sort out the packing and various other admin mainly related to banks insurance etc. Not long left now. Best get back to the packing and admin.

Fourth test ride

I went on the fourth test ride last night all seems to be working well including the gears thanks to Dad for being a big help sorting them out.

It was a lovely sunny evening with a flat road and the wind behind me, and no luggage.

One week today until I fly.

Second test ride well really a third.

I went on a second test ride today. Well I suppose it was really. a third one. The bike seems to be working well, which I am happy about, the only small problem seems to be the front mech and shifting into the biggest chain ring this might be to do with the chainline but I don’t know! Hopefully I will get it fixed before I go!

 

 

First Test Ride

I went on my first test ride at the weekend. All seemed to be working well apart from some problems with the front mech. I think I should be able to sort this out though, I don’t think that it is mounted on the frame low enough.

 

The bike rode very nicely and smoothly. I had it loaded with the four panniers and it did feel pretty heavy, mainly into the wind and up hills but it didn’t feel ungamely if there is such a word!

well that’s it from the first test ride.
