It was a beautifully cool morning this morning, the light was magnificent, and I was feeling good enough to see how my body would react to using the non-battery super-light Colnago road bike for a very short ride just down to the other side of Die and back. As much as the Moustache has been brilliant at taking the strain during my rehabilitation, it's a bit like driving a milk float instead of a racing car (I imagine... Ive never driven either) – it does the job very well, but it's about a third of my weight, compared with the Colnago being about a tenth, so the handling is decidedly 'heavy', even with the battery assistance.
Anyway, all was lovely this morning, and I couldn't stop grinning, being reminded of the sheer fun of road bikes in such beautiful scenery. And even going just 10 miles, there was no shortage of wonderful photos to take!
