Yesterday I went on a group ride from Wickham to Coggess Kitchen in Oxfordshire.
The day started off a bit chilly, so I decided on adding my mid-layer jacket and using the winter gloves, but a couple of hours later with the clear sunny skies, even after dumping the midlayer, I was regretting not bringing the summer gloves too!
Fortunately I'd put the top box on, so could dump the jacket in that, but I found that one of the mounting bolts that connects it to the pannier rack had vibrated loose and fallen out somewhere, so, even though it was still secure the box was bouncing around somewhat alarmingly for the people behind!
I've ordered a replacement (and a couple of spares) that should be with me in a couple of days and this time I'm going to add some Threadlock to keep it in place.
Anyway, we had some fun and "spirited"
progressive riding on some very enjoyable roads and it was nice to get out in the fine weather :thumbup
