I need to get a headlight however.

also, observations on the new lighter bike.

I've noticed that going up hills out of the saddle is MUCH easier. It's like the bike follows me, whereas with my old bike getting out the saddle was VERY tiring. I felt like I was not only pedaling but also dragging the bike up.

Also, accelerating and upshifting in the drops. Big difference.

How far of a ride is it?

Did you get a chance to mike off of any primary kids big wheels on the way home?

It's 12 miles roundtrip. Barely get your heart rate up at that distance.

At least you got some time in on the new bike.
