First bit of off-roading. Good fun, init?

That said, the feeling of riding a 7.2kg carbon race bike on 700/23s is amazing compared to a 12kg MTB with knobblies on the road. Glad I've got one of each!

I foresee a CX bike in your future, chap, for those times when you think you want to do a road ride but you might head off along the river although not far enough that you want to trash the tyres on your Jekyll and your Cannondale is just a tad too heavy....
