Walnut Valley Metric

Road my second metric in 8 days today. Unlike last week this ride was hilly and nearly 2,000 feet of elevation gain (I know this is not much for some of you). There were several hills that were steeper than anything I had ever ridden but, I made it up every hill.

I rode the new Domane today and the ride could not have been more comfortable even on some rougher roads and the bike fit was absolutely perfect.

Terrific! Really glad the Domane seems like a keeper.

And yeah, we typically do 2000' of climbing on our 40 mile rides twice a week. I'll take some hills over wind any day.
