CR1: The Ca(o)rbon(m)ite Maneuver
Originally uploaded by scifitwin
I picked up the new bike today and rode it for a bit. It was sweet. Light, extremely responsive and agile in a sprint. Looking forward to logging a ton of miles on it. Expect to hear me talk about it. A lot. Maybe too much. Excessively even.
I think I'm going to really love this one. I'm even actually thinking of doing some group rides.
I know! That's almost social. Very strange.
The old bike is staying. Putting cyclocross tires on it again and will be using it for bad weather, winter, trainer rides, riding with the kids and am planning on doing at least one leisurely KATY trail ride during the week instead of the usual, boring recovery ride.
As long as you're at Flickr, hit my photostream and check out some great new pics of the girls too.
Sweeeeeeeeeeetttttttttt!
ReplyDeleteThat's a sharp looking ride. I'm sure you'll be shaving more than a few seconds off the ascent of the hill at Creve Coeur.
ReplyDeleteThe one I climbed at 20 mph yesterday? Yes. It does help.
ReplyDeleteIt also felt good making the climb up from the KATY. What it didn't help with was the wind. Riding down River Valley Road toward Hog Hollow still felt like a wind tunnel and I thought my muscles were separating from my bones.
