Ok so keeping the Trek for good conditions and the Triban for bad conditions might be a good idea then
.
I went out this evening with the Trek around Bois de la Cambre. I did many circles but didn't count. I stopped twice to drink (I need to learn how to drink while riding
) but sensations were pretty good. I noticed I feel better and better through the ride. Especially in the evening when the air gets cooler. I still have a light tension at the rear of the neck but I stretch a bit and then it goes much better.
