I rode, but not until late in the day. I think a lot of the wind had died down by then. I stopped off at Performance today. They are having a 20% back sale (instead of the usual 10% back) and I needed to pick up some tubes, a bike lock, and I was interested in trying on some bibs. I hear, and now believe, that they are very comfy.

I was looking at a 2007 Fuji Team a week and a half ago. The price was dropped big time then, and now they took another $200 bucks off the price. I had to get it. Especially with 20% back this time. Carbon frame, Ultegra rear derailleur, and just about everything else was 105 for $850. When I had someone take it out for the final test ride another guy saw it and was quite interested. He was going to buy it if I didnt...oh well - I already had my mind made up as long as everything felt as nice as it did on my first test ride.

So I just went 13 miles on it and it was awesome. A few laps around Lake Montebello and then a stroll up and down Walther. It was really smooth. MUCH smoother than my aluminum frame/chromoly fork.

Tomorrow is going to be awesome.

GB: I do love your routes too. I especially love the city/country ones. I like both and its great to get a little bit of everything in.
