Second commute of the year, 25 mile round trip. Max speed 32.2mph coming down Cullen Hill Rd. I rode the UO8 today. I keep relearning why I've held onto that bike for 41 years. It's smooth as silk, rolls easily, handles a load with aplomb. Even loaded with work-related stuff it climbs easily. Yeah, okay, I have upgraded everything except the pedals and brakes.
