Actually the turn around point was a excellent bakery where some went in for coffee and a pastry. I stayed outside and enjoyed some water and a granola bar.
I really like the bike. I was looking at the Specialized Roubaix, Cervelo RS and the Trek Madone 4. Both the Specialized and Cervelo had Sram Rival while the Trek has Shimano 105. I emailed Trek asking if they offered the Madone 4 with Sram and was told I would need to get a Madone 5 if I wanted Sram. then a few days later my son told me that he received a new Trek catalog that listed the 4.6 with Sram Rival. That was the decision maker since the discount I was able to get on the Trek brought it down to a aluminum bike price.
I really love the double tap shifters, they are lightning fast and smooth as silk.
Here's the bike.
