OK but the air quality stinks - very humid with less oxygen per liter I think. I'm hard on myself in the morning but I think I was breathing harder than I should have been. I think I need to adjust my rear cones again. This is twice in the past 300 miles. The new rear wheel however is holding up very very well and is still as true as day 1. All the spokes continue to feel the same. I'm keeping a very close eye on it. This converted hybrid however will not be my last bike I can tell you that. I want to get my money's worth out of it but I'm still dreaming about the Trek 1.5 and Fuji Touring ...

morning STATs:
13.34 miles
27.1 mph MAX speed
16.4 mph average speed
48 minutes saddle time
