[Chap sur le velo]

Thank you for your patience.

Though I've yet to prove anything I recon I'm still a part of this.

Sat 27th

Detour on way home meant I got my 50 miles in after a Latte ride with HubVelo - nice quiet lanes beyond the M25.

Mon 29th
Had to deliver keys to Wimbledon.
So dusted off my Willier for first time since going Giant and detoured via Kings Road and Richmond park for 57kms.

Giant runs 32mm tubeless and Willier 25mm Gatorskins. I recall going from the W to the G felt smoother. Going back felt positively boneshaking!!!

Want to go through my records as KM's travelled has fallen off a cliff since Ride 100.
