The bike is ready

The routes are all on the cycling Garmins now; I have two, an edge 810 and an older edge 800. Having two is very handy when they crash during long rides, and also means I can leave one on the data screen and the other on the map screen all the time, making it easier to follow a route.

I tried out my new dynamo powered front light for the first time last night, and I really like it. No more stress over front light battery levels. Also, the pattern of light on the road includes a line at right angles to my direction of travel, which looks a bit like that dial they have in planes that shows the pilot where the horizon is - the one that spins round and round when the plane is in a death spiral, I forget what it's called. So when the bike tilts as I go around a corner it feels like I'm flying a plane.
