Rode to Sagamore Hill today.
45 miles and I averaged 16mph. I was noticeably riding faster and was cruising at 20mph at times. Hills were also easier and steep ones were able to be ridden to the top without stopping.
I took a break on the front porch and sat in a rocking chair while having my snack and water. There wasn't another person around and I thought "this is what it was like when TR lived here".
The place is very cool.
Oh... I like the wheels. Braking was only marginally less. Also the freewheels is dead quiet, no clicking.
