Training run on new Thorn Nomad


After testing out the Rohloff gears on the turbo over about 500 miles it was time for a maiden voyage.
With 84 lbs of 'water bottles and books' in the four panniers and camping gear the bike handled pretty well.
Managed to get up Bradshaw's Brae and Craigantlet- the steepest hill in the area- with two of the 14 gears to spare.
Brakes, balance and steering were excellent over the first 70 miles.
