You started in Lawrenceberg? I am impressed. That is right on the river and between the hills and the traffic you must have had some fun starting out. What was the route? Oh, and congrats. That sounds like quite a ride. And an excellent means of seeing much of the state with more of a variety of terrain than the RAIN. Thanks for the feedback. I did the RAIN on the Trek with no problems. After a recent metric on the touring bike I was reminded of the comfort factor, but the two are very close.
