I took the Ritchey out for tonight's ride and once again marveled at how "at one" with the bike I felt. Also had one of those "Cycling Gods" days, and tied my best time on the 22 mile route but with significantly lower HR and RPE. Every time I think, "Why do I have so many bikes? Am I insane?" I have one of these experiences where I end up thinking, "Oh, yeah! THAT'S why I have this bike!"
