This is my 4th season of diligently purposed riding since a 7yr layoff. When I came back in, it was for doing a bucket ride Century. The next two seasons have been more speed and hills oriented. My body type is more suited to the TT, hillclimbs etc. i really enjoy going fast.
The bike I will be building will be my first sub-20, my body wt at it's lowest in years and a renewed vigor to go faster. Maybe in another 10yrs the slower endurance stuff will appeal more.
And there are a couple of hills I have declared war on.
