Not been able to ride it since building it as knee has been dodgy since last cross race. Bit of sunshine this morning though and had to get out. Bike was lovely, knee seems pretty much better too which is nice.

Stunning photos (yours too @mike) and I love the fact that you Northerner's don't call it Dovecote Tower, that's far too posh eh ? 😀

@mike photo - that's the top of Mt Wellington, Hobart, TAS. Used to be one of my regular road climbs too when I lived out there. Beautiful spot! 🙂

Very jealous. Just got my first cx bike (2nd hand bargain experiment off here).

But, can already see one of those Trek's in my shed if the experiment goes well, it just looks so 'right'.
