Great ride in this morning - 17F when I left the house, 25F when I got to the office. Great to ride again after a 5 day break.

The Sirrus got a 1,200 mile tune-up over the weekend: New chain/cassette, wheels trued, replaced brake pads, etc. Turns out that the factory wheels are starting to crack around the spoke holes. My LBS contacted Specialized and they are sending a replacement pair of wheels out - actually an upgrade to the wheels that came on the bike! Kudos to my LBS and Specialized for the pro-active and cooperative effort; I would not have noticed the cracks on my own.
