Mudguards Not Required

It's been a long time since I managed to get out on a proper bike ride (17.5 miles) and even longer since I've ridden without mudguards - it's quite odd being able to see my front tyre.
I'm still getting to grips with the idea of having modern technology strapped to the the bike in the form of a GPS cycle computer. With my current state of fitness I'm not really doing it justice but hopefully I'll get there over the coming weeks.
