I've got today off, so last night I rode the whole trip home, 47 km. (or maybe I just rode the long distance to stay ahead of N7 at bikejournal.com!) It was mostly sunny, temp of 22 C with a nice tailwind of about 25 kph, so it was a quick trip, too. The sun and wind helped dry my socks and shoes that were still wet from the rain ride in the morning.
My first long ride on the new (to me) Velo Sport touring bike with full panniers, found it very comfortable and the panniers made nice sails for the tailwind!
It has a bit of a drivetrain clunk somewhere, not sure if it's bb or freewheel. I'll have to have a look at it.
