Sorry to hear about the injury
@Donger and glad to hear that you're on the mend.
An evening ride to loosen the legs a bit oafter yesterday. I took the knockabout bike and went over Lyth Hill to do the Acton Burnell loop. It was a bit of a slow start but while climbing Lyth Hill I realised after all the faffing about yesterday that this bike feels the same as the Galaxy did when the adjustment was out, which might explain the cramp problems I've had with it on long rides. I decided to move the saddle back about as much as I had to with the Galaxy and see what happens.
What happened was it suddenly felt like having freed off a dragging brake.
Even with tired legs the headwind didn't seem as bad anymore and when I got to Longnor and changed direction it scooted along quite nicely. A rider overtook on the way to Frodesley and easily strolled away as I didn't have the legs for the climb, but down the other side I slowly caught up until I was right behind again when he turned off in Acton Burnell. I had the dynamo lights on so he's probably moaning to his mates about e-bikes now.
The rest of the trip was quick and pleasurable, only spoiled by getting a fly in the eye just before getting back to Condover.
18.4 miles at 14.1 mph average. Offhand I can't recall the last time I averaged over 14 mph on this bike. I really hope I'm on the right track with it now coz that felt great.
Just some snaps from the usual spots to show off the nice evening light:
