Over the winter I brought my bike back to to new condition replacing worn components. I have also been busy moving gear around to make the panniers more efficient. Today I took a test ride, the weather bringing perfect. The strong wind allowed testing into headwind, tailwind, and crosswind. The bike handles well and the weight load is stable. Next week I will be on a five day tour with my friend CK.
