This afternoon, Mrs. Wow had her first bike ride since it happened. Only about 4 miles, but it involved Waitrose and 4 very large panniers of shopping on the tandem, total weight about 60lb I think. This is important because it's the first time we've tried Carradice Super C rear panniers on the front, and it worked OK. Handles like a dream.
We are off tomorrow for a two-night camping trip in Suffolk with Woolly & Peli - a bit of unfinished business, you might say! The bigger panniers are an experiment to see how much extra we can fit in for touring purposes.
