I think I got on the bike for the last ride outdoors this Fall. Temps in the 50s mean nothing in 15-20 mph winds. My buddy and I froze slightly to point of needing a pit stop at Dunkin’ Donuts half way through. Other than being cold, my first time out on the Cervelo was lovely towards the end of the ride and terrifying the rest of the time.
The positives:
- The bike is fast as hell and it knows it. I can get up hills like a champion despite being told tri-bikes sucked on hills. It is super comfortable in the aero position.
The challenges:
- The aero position in the wind and traffic is scary and will take some getting used to. I should have put it on the trainer at least once before getting out on the road. I forgot I needed water and I haven’t got a hydration system yet.
- Distance 27 miles
