I thoroughly enjoyed my first ride. The 71 degree weather was absolutely oustanding. I took it "slow and easy " per Doc's instruction so it took about 1 hour to travel the 10 miles around the lake. My new homebuillt wheels (Ultegra hubs, Sapim spokes, Velocity Fusion rims) performed flawlessly. In case you can't tell, It was a GREAT afternoon!!!
Thanks for all your encouragement.......apprehension eliminated.
