Bit of a grim ride tonight. Not really that keen on going out but I headed up to the Velodrome at Eastlands to see if there are any taster sessions available. Some coming up next week so I’ll make a booking tomorrow. Tried the out the new Endura Venturi 3/4s which arrived today. They’re fantastic. Great cut (fitting my thighs and calf muscles nicely), warm but not too warm, completely waterproof and subtle looks without that waterproof rustling noise when walking around. Good for riding in and really couldn’t have asked for anything better. Was hoping to get further but it took 30 minutes just to get to Stuart St as I seemed to hit every single bloody set of lights just as they turned to red. Ride home was a bit better, although wouldn’t have been complete without the compulsory idiot opening a car door without riding in Rusholme. Another urban ride tomorrow night. Ended up having to add in some extra loops to make up the hour.
