Well my record of building up a bike while meticulously cleaning and polishing every component as I go then having sloppy wet ride conditions first time out remains unbroken

Aside from that though I absolutely enjoy the atmosphere of riding up in the cloudy moisture. It never rained and wasn't that cold but I was pouring with water off me like winter but it's summer? Next weekend it'll probably be 40c

Nothing special here just a pee stop before the climbing starts. I think Corkscrew Rd. will be in the TDU early next year again.

It never rained


Strangely clear at Mt Lofty only for a moment




That crank has to go
