Knocked 3 minutes off my best time and its not even March. I've noticed that longer rides (0ver 60 miles) are still noticably harder than say last August but I haven't lost all that much condition and my cadence has picked up a little as well.
Its boring doing 30-50km of spinning every night before I sleep, but it was worth it.

Strawman. No one has said this.

At least one expert "thinks so".

The fastest tire, the Deda Tre, rolled 20% faster than the slowest, the Rivendell Nifty-Swifty. A 20% difference in on-the-road speed is huge!
