tour reports » First decent ride on RS

Not so much a tour, as just an evening out. Haven't had the chance to get our 'properly' on my RS yet, finally yesterday evening had a fantastic ride down through the Cotswolds and back, what a beautiful evening it was, and great to see all the Cotswold towns and villages bereft of tourist throngs.

Headed down to Moreton-in-Marsh, then right through Bourton-on-the-Hill to Broadway, then tbe B4077 up the hill onto some single track backroads to Naunton, down to Cirencester and back up to Bibury, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and then home.

I was very impressed with the bike, handles beautifully and goes like stink. I got rid of the XR because it was getting a bit tiring, and was a bit of a hooligan always egging you on and screaming at you. However, with the RS I think I was riding it quicker but a lot more serenely and comfortably.

May need to tweak a few things in terms of screens and risers, but other than that, perfect.

Becksy, That's a great route. I've done it myself. Where in Warwickshire are you? I'm in Warwick.
