Finally on the Road Again

2020-06-19 by Andrew Holmes

Thanks to the current Covid 19 situation sweeping the globe since March I haven't been riding at all for nearly three months. During this time New Zealand has been in various levels of lockdown and so I've been working from home during this time. As no commuting has been necessary the bike has been sitting in the garage for the last ~12 weeks or so with the battery out and on charge. Well - no longer!

With New Zealand now out of the more restrictive lockdowns us Kiwis can now get out and ride again, and I did just that last weekend for the first time in what felt like forever. I gassed up the bike, set the tyre pressures, pulled the battery off the charger and went for my first ride since lockdowns were in place. It was raining all day, but I didn't care, doing a big loop out through West Auckland for half the day, arriving home wet (on the outside at least - I have pretty good rain gear) but happy! Can't wait for many more fun rides now we can get out and about.
