After the dust settled from a whirlwind of driving around as Dads free ride share service to and from birthday parties and dance classes I got out on the new bike early afternoon for 35 miles.. It was delightfully cold and an omnipresent headwind added to the experience every direction I faced. The bike rode like a silky dream. Shimano has closed the gap between Ultegra and Dura Ace with the newest itirations that the user experience was indistinguishable to me. The 33mm tires coasted over the ruts and roadside bumps while the perfectly fitting frame soaked up the harshness. I just mounted my 1500 Lumen headlight and my Bar Mitts for tomorrow mornings early AM ride.
