Took the new bike out this afternoon. I managed an all time high average speed for me for almost ten miles: 21.6. Granted no lights to run, not much wind and only one corner where you have to slow down.

Forward vision is the biggest problem. I definitely have to get used to the neck stretch required to see much. It can get dangerous as it becomes easier to simply look down. And that is with three spacers still on the steerer. Maintaining that position for 56 miles will be challenging.
