So fast feeling, so much faster than my previous bike. I don't know if it is me or the bike, but we're both going faster. And comfortably.

So quiet as well.

Its the alloy carbon 6. The fork and back end are carbon, the rest is Al.

Tour de Poway or just Poway? Either way, ok. Some Romona too. Lets get a Palomar Mtn ride going.

Maybe one day we can get a group to ride the Tour de California route.

Anyone interested? I think they averaged 24 something mph... we got that

First off, very nice bike! Secondly, since we are doing the Tour de Poway on the 4th, and the DT Dirtoberfest on the 17th, why don't we shoot for the 24th or 25th to set up a "Tour de DT?" We have a few weeks to work on the route. Palomar and final stage of Tour of California both sound good. Lets throw some more suggestions on the table and get this set up!
