Excellent use of gratuitous post scripts. I think I may add some drop bars to the bike for long distance riding. The headwinds on the second half of the ride absolutely killed me and I couldn't really find a way to get down low enough. Either that or maybe I could experiment w/ a clip-on aero bar (never really spent much time on one of them). Operator, can I borrow your's for an afternoon some time to try it out?

Edit: I may have been fast at times, but there was another fixed rider (namely, Somna) who dropped me on some climbs near the end of the day.
