Boy, Jim; that route gives you a sharp, steep climb at either end, and with a pretty fair amount of weight in the bike, too! Jags is right, bound to keep you fit. At 25kg, it is the weight equivalent of a full touring load. Looking at how you have it all arranged, it looks very neat and well-packed. The Super Cs look magnificent, and it is a real pleasure to see the saddle breaking in so nicely to your shape. A well-used Brooks is even more beautiful in my eyes than a new one.
Jim...the bike is calling...<China> <China> <..I'm ready...when are we going to..>.
It looks every bit the part, and ready to set forth tomorrow!
Thanks so much for sharing, Jim; a real treat to see the bike as it "matures" into the full flower of use.
All the best,
Dan. (Bikes do talk, y'know...we just mistake it for freewheel noise)
