Breezy SW'ly, bright & cold. Seemed fast to start then I tired in the later stages. More food required? Lovely lanes.

Across the Arley Cut Through, otherwise lanes, in the dark. Again, felt fast without showing in the average speed - but better able to keep up with Dave. It feels good!

It was wet and slippy in places, but benefitted from 36 hours without rain. Cold and clear, threatening to ice up. Supercal’s first long ride and with hills. It felt faster than my other bikes and faster than the figures show. Puzzled by that.

Post rain ride. The bike feels faster than previous bikes, However the average speed didn't blow the numbers out of the water - it felt quicker.

With Dave, through the back lanes. Cold and clear with icy puddles clinging on - which kept it dry! New bike feels responsive and rolls well. I did this ride entirely on locked out mode, which felt fine as big tyres softened the blows. Suspension showed some movement had occured, absorbing the bigger hits I suppose. I'll try suspension on next time and see how things change. Average speed shows better than previous, although challenges remain: we didn't venture off road or tackle big hills. I'm finally on Dave's pace, so nice to think I won't be holding him back. In 11th gear, some ghost shifting to 12th and back. Monitoring. Feeling pleased to be on the pace 😊

The bike felt draggy from the start, and continued to do so. I was much slower than the others. Penny dropped: Beta Blockers. Had a cake and coffee, came back solo, so they could go at their pace.
