Yea, our first ride of the year was a chilly one We planned on going out all day, soon as we actually step out the door, it started to rain. I suppose that is Ohio for ya.. We rode anyway We both have new (used) bikes.. mine is a Trek 1500, also with a few upgrades. Last we rode from Columbus to Cleveland on Specialized Mt. bikes, so having road bikes this year will make a life's difference..we plan to go all the way to Ashtabula this July. We couldn't be happier with the decision to get road bikes! They are a drain on the pocket tho, slowly but surely. It's all worth it...

Thanks for all your input for us guys...
