Took a ride this AM (0700) to meet some guys from the CSBA for breakfast up in Allentown. Rode out 29 to 100 to a gaggle of back roads (got lost) to Chris's Family Diner on Tilgman. The sun came out once but it was mostly grey and chillier than I expected.
Anyhoo, although it was never really dry, I still got some good (much needed) seat time on the bike since Marco rebuilt the suspension and put the 40T and all the other new bits on. Thanks Marco!
It felt like a completely different bike than the one I was riding last year. It's running great and feels really planted. Got a little loose on a twisty road that was quite junked-up with grit but nothing too scary.
I wish it was a wee bit warmer out though. I am looking forward to some real dry (and clean roads) soon.
So far, so good.
Mike

Congrats on the like-new bike!!! Great day to be out. The afternoon warmed up and it was primo.

Mike - what color's the bike? I've never seen your bike (old or new) and we ride a lot of the same roads.
