On Sunday I rode the Felt from Hernando to Ft Cooper, then headed north. I got to Holder and threw in the towel. For some reason I just couldn't make it to the north end. Turned around and slowly headed to Hernando.

Today I did the same ride on the Litespeed. Didn't have any problems and rode to the north end before turning around and heading for Hernando.

So now I have to decide what adjustments to make to the Felt. It just hasn't seemed as comfortable as the Litespeed lately.
I stopped in Inverness Bicycle and Fitness today and talked with Sherry about a CAAD 10 3. I've wanted a Cannondale since 2008.
If I can't get the Felt to feel good again I guess the verdict will be that my body just doesn't like compact frames. The Felt is the 3rd compact frame I've had. The first was a CX bike so I really can't compare it to a road bike. The second was the 2010 Specialized Tarmac Elite that I began disliking after 6 months and sold it after 9 months.
The Felt was recommended by a Felt riding friend in Atlanta. Its been comfortable until recently. So I suppose its bike fitting time.
If I can't get it feeling good it may go on the auction block (Ocala craigslist and Ocala4sale . com) and I'll be testing riding a CAAD 10 3 or CAAD 10 5.
The never ending quest continues.
