We got a bonus late fall day here in central Ohio - 73 degrees and tolerable winds. This was my longest ride of the season at just over 15 miles challenged my self to ride 4 miles further than my last long ride. The trees are still holding onto most of their leaves but that will soon end. My northbound part of the trip was fairly easy and the wind was on my back left side. The ride home was a bit more challenging but I survived. Still love this bike but cannot wait to swap the 105 crank this winter, clean it up, and hit the trails in the spring. Probably will need to have a LBS adjust the derailleur after I do the clean up.
I wonder what it would cost to have the frame media blasted and powder coated...
