Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sold my Aeolus wheelset online so I ordered a matching Body 50mm carbon clincher front wheel to go with the Powertap rear wheel I bought earlier. Should be here in about a week. The service from Boyd has been really good considering the crosss-border shopping.

Had a bike fit done yesterday, hopefully that was money well spent. While I was there I bought some new cleats and an ISM Adamo saddle for the tt bike.



Today I installed a third bike tray on my bike rack. I can now easily transport three bikes and three people to races.

Just picked up some of this at the LBS because I'm lazy... Holy cats, it's like grease eraser! I used it on the cassette, couldn't be happier.

Yes sir! I went back and forth over which model Tarmac to get, and in the end, it came down to the fact that I really wanted a frame with a matte finish, and the cheapest 2013 model that offered that was a bit out of my price range. Figured I'll keep the frame longer than the components and I can upgrade as needed. Got all of the accessories at my local Performance on sale, including the Garmin, which was a return. Bike arrives Tuesday, I am beyond excited to get it.

Tiagra isn't all that bad.(Finicky for me @ best) It will most def hold up a few years, or when you decide to upgrade.
Hopefully in those years the price of Di2 will come down!

I hope you don't drive with the disc on like that. I've heard some horror stories about disc wheels and highway speeds.
Otherwise, looks nice!

Thanks. The bike won't even strap down with the disc on there. I put a trainer wheel on it for transport.
