Hey people, so here's my wobbly ride!
Thanks everyone who commented earlier and tried to help! It was not too bad so I only observed it and held my bars with both hands. I just like to lean back, relax and maybe have a snack on smooth descends after long climbs, but that didn't happen this time.
It was first multiple days trip after some 5 years of only commuting and occasional day rides, and my first longer (time) solo trip on the bike. 3 full days and 2 cold nights in Ore Mountains on German-Czech border, some 190km and 4000m of climbing with Fichtelberg (1215m) as the highest peak.
First and last day was just a beautiful spring weather. I knew it should rain on the second day so I packed my tent early. It did snow at the end and temperature fell close to zero during the day and bellow in the night. The route included everything from smooth roads to rocky single tracks, soft gravel, hard gravel, snow and mud, and some jumping over water streams.
It was certainly an experience.
After some 15 years of riding I stopped rushing and started enjoying even climbing long kilometers! Properly fitted Nordest Sardinha II with low enough gears is just a pleasure to ride and goes wherever I point the front wheel.
There are certainly more trips coming and I'm gonna work on that wobble.
PS: not my idea but proved "hack" for wet weather are oversized latex cleaning gloves which slide over your regular warm gloves and cost less than espresso! Dry, warm hands on long cold days are big win.
