If all goes to plan todays the day. 
Did a long ride home last night in heavy rain with a fair wind. Rode in this morning and to be honest I could have ROWED in with a bloody boat. Swapped bikes at the last minute (road to mountainbike for better braking) and full rain gear as it was torrential.
Fingers crossed that all the rain done and we get a perfect evening tonight for the new bikes first steady ride. I'll be out with my mate Dave doing our weekly circuit armed with allen keys so I can adjust things if needs be after the bike fit.
Cheers Gaz.
I've a few mates that have run Carbon XC bikes (full suss) and the carbon frames just aren't upto the job around here. Constant creaking and they really don't like getting chucked on their sides in the peaks.
Like you, the lads with carbon roadbikes have had no trouble though so it bodes well.
