It was built as a "trophy bike", but has done more than 8000km of various rides including several longish randonnees.

I also trialled a GPS unit that I bought cheap from Torpedo7. It's a Soleus and frankly... I am a convert to this newfangled stuff that allows you to upload to Strava and get maps and stuff. I am locked away in a private account, but it should enable me to keep a record of my rides.

So, thanks Charlie for the ride today. I am a bit solemn in the picture for obvious reasons, but the ride in general was pretty darned good.
