I took the Masi out for about 35 miles today, home to Concord and back. Got caught in a spot of rain on the way home. The bike is quite awesome. It wants to go fast and goes equally well in either a straight or curvy line. The brakes a very effective. The gearing works nicely but the use pattern is quite different from my other bikes.

As a riding experiment today's run was a complete failure. Which is to say, from a scientific perspective a successful experiment is one where you learn everything there is to learn and so the experiment needn't be repeated. Today's ride? Well, I'm afraid I'll need to repeat it over and over. Definitely need to do it again.
