Cool! At first I wasn't going to read this thread, because I thought it was gonna be another report from someone who was not riding because of cold weather but somehow got out for a short ride. But then I paid attention to who posted it. Glad I did that. This is indeed good news, and it must have felt great to be "whipped".
