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

happy bday to me; new madone

so i'm the opposite of that other guy; this is my fourth trek and i've never been anything but pleased with the quality/customer service. it's raining today, but i'll give a ride report when i get to give it a nice, long ride.

2011 madone 6.5, full '10 force, 58cm.

Kind of random, but any pictures of the aquarium? I've got a 75 gallon saltwater tank myself...

Another Trek enters the world! Great looking bike you got there. I'm curious why you've got the long seatmast instead of the shorter one?

Madones are so beautiful. Best looking mass production bikes and that one there is the best I have seen. Excellent colour scheme.
