Two months ago I decided to return to riding the road after 20 years off a bike. I found an unsold '08 Specialized Roubaix Comp (Compact) at my LBS. Sure, it was four-years-old, but it was new and under warranty. I've been riding it with a group and solo three to four times weekly, with most rides in the thirty to forty mile range. I'm amazed at how much fun I'm having.
