Bigger ride than usual yesterday. I took my sister in her car for a dental appointment with general anaesthsia, and once I poured her back into her apartment I rode from there. I explored some MUP s but soon wished I hadn’t as they just made my ride longer without making it better.

I managed the steep bit in 9th gear (30-15) twice this week and I’m feeling insufferably pleased with myself for it.

I’m thinking about buying fenders for this bike. Will need them soon. I’d like a 700c wheelset with slicks too but I probably won’t.
