Got my new steed all sorted out so Robyn (11yr old
Daughter and I) went out this afternoon for my first ride
in 16 months

Rode up to the other side of the village and back. A
whole 2km including one very gentle uphill, Robyn
couldn't keep up

Only 2km - you woos.

Still - always good to half-wheel someone - even if under
12!

Regards! Stephen

coming back down though :-) . Now I'm completely knackered
with aching arms but a big grin !

Glad to hear you're rolling again. Good luck and enjoy.

Now that's fantastic. I know it's early but how does it
ride?

Needs setting up properly - I'm too close to the cranks and
need to give them more room over my legs but it's fully
adjustable for fettling. All things considered it rides
surprisingly well. The 19mm tri wheels might have something
to do with that :-)

Being out in the sun going more than 4mph was a huge huge
thrill though

Nice one Russ!

It's a very pretty machine. Is it difficult to steer and
pedal at the same time? And what about braking? Looks like a
lot of co-ordination is needed. Bet it's good fun though -
and it's great that you're back in the saddle.

Careful, you could cut yourself on those sharp edges!

Nice one! Shame your reasons for Going Dark were as
traumatic as they were, but Grin Factor 9 is Grin
