On the road Yesterday TBH.

Been riding with two guys from the local club. We went to a hilly area as we live in a mostly flat part of Holland. (the overpasses are battled over on Strava)
A link to the ride: http://app.strava.com/activities/44778983" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here is a compilation of most pics.

Grupetto is a most excellent name for a club. Or Autobus. I'd fit right in.

Had to take her for a first ride. Not perfect conditions but dry roads.

Lol, don't know what the hair weights, but the better half won't allow me to shave it. On top of that i have a bit of a problem shaving my face, tried it all. Leaving the hair was the best option.

The cap is a rapha one. Great caps i might say!

The club name is chosen well indeed, i quite like the design of the kit.

Spring still hasn't arrived and isn't about to any time soon apparently. This time last year it was 20C, today only 6...
