I currently ride a hybrid and can comfortably do a 33 mile ride (1400+ feet) in 2 hours, but often ride 50+ mile rides on the weekend and on my days off. Should I buy the synapse instead? I plan on doing test rides on both bikes before I buy, but was wondering what the masses of CAAD cultists on here have to say about longer distances on the CAAD geometry.
Thanks in advance
I have a 2011 CAAD 10-4, completely stock as far as setup goes. I do a lot of 50-60 mile rides and have never had any issue with it. I'll be doing somewhere close to 150 miles on Saturday (MS ride), but that will be 75 miles to Ocean City followed by a break for food before heading back.
