From: Not far from the Withlacoochee Trail. 🚴🏻

Bikes: 2018 Lynskey Helix Pro

Rode the Litespeed from the Hernando trailhead to Inverness and looked at bikes again. Bob (the mechanic) had his bike there fro me to test ride. His bike is WAY more than I'm looking at. I'm looking at a Cannondale Supersix EVO carbon 105. He has a 2014 Supersix EVO HI-MOD Dura Ace. It cost about 3 times the bike I'm looking at. Took it for a short test ride and loved the Supersix EVO.
I was originally considering the CAAD 10 3, CAAD 10 5, Supersix EVO carbon Ultegra, and Supersix EVO carbon 105. After the test ride I'm sold on the Supersix EVO carbon.
The really good news is that Cannondale has a "crash replacement policy". They take back the old bike (my 2013 CAAD 10 2) and give a 30% discount on a new bike. Without the discount the Supersix EVO carbon was out of my price range. But now the 105 and the Ultegra are less than what the insurance company is paying me.
Bob (the mechanic) said the new 105 shifts just as well as the Ultegra and he said unless I really want the Ultegra he wouldn't recommend spending the extra money. So ......
long story short, I just called the bike shop and ordered the Supersix EVO carbon 105 in black. Here's the website pic. I'll post the real thing when it arrives.



Anyway, after I left the shop I rode the Litespeed north to Holder. Stopped there and chatted with a fellow Litespeed owner, then headed back to the car in Hernando.
Rode a total of 22.5 miles.
