Went out for a couple of hours on the now-finished Surly 1×1. Now it’s got some “real” brakes on it it’s just a lot more rideable. Well, stop-able. Some big fat tyres on now, providing a whole inch (maybe half an inch) of suspension.

I did the local loop, taking in Giants Seat (including the giant bomb hole slope of death and pain) and Philip’s Park.

Saw loads of blokes on very shiny new full sussers.
