Cooler this AM. Cold and blowing rain this afternoon. Got wet because I took off my fenders. I skate so many times a year that I have the other Karmic side hitting me. The weight of a Jandd front rack, fenders, heavy 32mm tires, and heavy touring frame, drag of the dynamo, etc. got to me. I lightened it for the MS150 in September and just left it. I bought a Bontrager wheel and light 23mm tire as well. I love it so much this way I'm thinking a road bike to be fun for club rides and long supported rides. Maybe even go to the dark side for a CF frame. Have I been turned into a weeny by a 42 Lb tourer bike? Who knows.
