Built and rode the new bike on rollers on Saturday, then caught a weather window and rode outside on Sunday. Both rides were mostly just to dial seat position in, as I'm hyper sensitive to that mumbojumbo. The new bike climbs like a scalded ape compared to my 7-year old MadOne, so that's fun.
I tried to sweet spot on an 11-minute climb a few times, but my seat was a smidge too high. Hamstrings complained. Probably for the better, as the climb is wicked hard to sweet spot on. It averages 7% grade over 2 miles, but the damn thing alternates between 13% and flat with a few short downhill sections and a flat finish. Makes for a whole lotta varied cadence and shifting in order to hold a power zone, which is probably a good thing.
