We knocked off the first 100-miles of the July ride in 4-hours, 16-minutes. But I will be with some slower riders for this double-century, so maybe I should have said 17-18 for the average speed...
Well, you saw the results from Calvin's, the choice is obvious. Why delay the inevitable, ok, yeah I have an LHT also, but for distance I'll take a Bacchetta over anything else. Oh, the CA is available as a 700c bike. Judging from your current stable, I'd say take the LHT though, unless you like pain.
