What road bike do you have?

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

Some high profile carbon wheels will change the looks dramatically, will definitely turn it into a beast.

Cannondale Caad8-6

Nothing fancy but it's my first new road bike (started out riding a rusty old steel bike). Super excited about it and planning to do my first metric century this weekend
