My favorite kind of thing to do.
Did a Tuesday night ride with a new group this week. Figured it would be mild-paced shop ride so I took the +23lb Circuit. Boy was I wrong, it was more of a training ride for a group of hammerheads. Managed to hang with them for 25 miles with a constant flurry of accelerations. I know it wasn't pretty but I'm sure they're wondering where that shiny red and chrome bike came from!
Back on topic, I was always neutral on Trek. Never owned one because for me they were too ubiquitous and not enough cachet. I have a 760 frameset procured here on BF that will become my first experience with the brand some day.
