did a 35 mile ride with 5 other BMCC club riders earlier today, up in the hills between Wilkesboro & Boone, which included a brutal 1,000' + climb in a 2 mile stretch
Ms Santa has green-lighted me to get a new sled for Winter Solstice, so I've been out shopping -- looking at: Giant TCR,Tek Madone 5.2; Look 566; Cerevelo.
I have yet to try out the latter two, but my LBS has an '09 Madone 5.2 demo bike that they hooked me up with for a couple days, so I rode it for this morning's group ride. Big difference, going from a 24lb+ lugged steel bike, to a full carbon 16 pounder with light-stiff wheels. *I WANT!*
