Morning ride to test out the new gear ratios on the road bike. Rode from home, one lap of Mt Coot-tha and back home. The challenge was to see if I had enough gears to do it all seated - I did, although it was still a hard climb, and I wasn't able to do it easy by spinning. Did 13.15 which isn't too fast, but I wasn't trying to be. The new gears will definitely make road riding more fun.

Morning run from home around my river loop. Did a steady ~500m effort up a gradual uphill. It wasn't fast but felt quite good. Struggled the next km to recover. It's getting hot!

Same ride as Saturday from home through Gap Creek and over Mt Coot-tha. Dave replaced my broken spoke yesterday so I was back on the hardtail. The rear wheel is as true as can be!

Dave showed even more talent yesterday and replaced my chain and cassette, plus fitted my new compact cranks on my road bike. I took it for a very quick spin to the closest hill and back to test the gears. Good as new!! I'm looking forward to riding a few hills on it now as I've changed from a 39-23 set up to a 34-26. Look out and thanks Dave!
