First ride report.

It was a perfect, cool day for a ride. The bike is amazing! I rode 34 miles, grinning like a Cheshire cat the whole time. The Roubaix smooths the rough roads like nothing else I've ridden and it simply sails on smooth roads. I don't think "plush" is the right word to describe the ride. It seems like magic that one bike can be so smooth and yet so stiff at the same time. Not a hint of flex in the bottom bracket when standing on a climb. This could be the start of something big!
I goofed up on the route and had to ride 1.5 miles on a dirt road where I had planned to only do about a third of a mile. The bike handled it fine, but it's not something I'll want to do much of on this bike.
