First commute of 2017 this morning. Rockhopper did admirably. My commute is 12.5km and it took me 10 minutes longer than normal. Half because of the snow and half because i'm very out of shape.
Couple things I need to fix on the bike. 20 year old quick release on the seat post does not work very well anymore. Really annoying to slide down 5" over the course of a ride. Front derailleur needs to be adjusted so I can get into granny gear. It was working when I tested it out, but this morning no luck.
Was definitely warm enough and saw lots of other riders out there. My goal this year is to ride once per week. Hopefully more in the summer but I set that as a baseline for myself.
