New Bike; First Ride
Who doesn't love that first ride on a new bike? Especially after several months on a winter bike with rubbing fenders, grinding bearings and old wheels. Actually having straight, round wheels with bearings that are smooth and grit free is one of the nicest things about my new bike. Then there's the fact that this bike, the Cervelo R2.5, is one sexy mother of a ride. Yesterday was a perfect day for that first ride. The sun was shining and spring had truly come to Toronto. Suddenly I was riding up a gear on the rear cluster and turning the pedals just seemed easier. Aaaahhhh.
Wish us luck on our new rides this weekend as Joe and I head down to North Carolina for two days of racing, the first races of the year for us. Everyone else have fun in the Marsh, and watch out for Ficko.

Good luck with your first race of the season! North Carolina should be quite pleasant.

The marsh is Ficko's stomping grounds. Ask anyone who used to do the Wednesday rides back in the '90s.
