I'm outside of C'ville in Waynesboro. I've got a buddy that said he'd ride his Mt bike so I could keep up. I need to get out with him one day.

I figured if I ride more and push hard on this, when I do upgrade to a lighter bike, I'll be that much faster and the ride will be easier. That's why I don't see a point in putting much $ in this...

I have a 2012 CAAD 8 6 (Tiagra) I bought earlier this year. I usually "go big" right out of the box with stuff I buy, but just getting back into riding I wanted to start off sensible. I have bought...
