Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I had a feeling this was going to happen, but not so early in the thread...

Kudos!

I'd get them if they weren't so wide! A 40cm maximum is what I run, but Deda starts at 42cm.

Also, for the ride, nice average. Flat?

Course was rollers and one pass. The pass helped, as it is super steep for 4 miles on one side, then it runs out for 9 miles on the other.

It looks like the SIGMA cyclocomputers have a nice and clear digital display. Excellent ride statistics.
