@youramericanlover what was painful never really went away. It seems to be kind of background level now but winter + absence of need to commute mean I haven't really been able to gauge how it really is. So I'm going to take it easy, try some nice and short rides this weekend and see how that goes (if anybody is up for some #coffeeoutside hit me up).
If all goes well for sure I'd love to do an easy Essex.
In any case I hope the ride is good tomorrow :-)

Sadly I won't be riding much this year as I'm moving in June and sending bikes away beforehand. On top of that I'm not sure at all whether my knee is actually better since I haven't really done any riding since last year. I might try and come out next week and see how things go!
I will miss the
WTNRC and its people dearly. -

Finally making the connection between @mespilus 's name on here and the strange fruits he passed around during one West birthday dinner. "a niche plant for eccentric gardeners" sounds quite apt ;)

Thanks for the info, I’ll have to have it sent to France then by the looks of it :-)
@amey that’s very kind thanks. Don’t want to bother you though.
@fussballclub yes or thereabout, at least until crossing a border isn’t a pain anymore. -

You might want to check that all cables are in good nick. In my case the stem junction box => bottom bracket junction box had developed an intermittent fault (presumably due to bar bag rubbing & kinking it) and it wasn’t enough to kill the system altogether at first, but enough to make it appear as it was draining super fast (to this day I’m unsure whether it was that, or the charger not getting through, but I replaced that one cable and the problem went away)

Someone crammed a chess engine in a kilobyte of JS and gave it a wonderful pixelated look.
Just got it too, with the clue. I don’t think I’ll get it today though.
