First ride....

The thermometer across the street from this one said 21F. WTF?

A bit of snow sitting around....

Sweet saddle. The bottles froze within 5 miles....

Pink tape, of course....

Dark outside....

Hippy chick....

I rode the new Cannondale for the first time tonight. 15 miles and it was a nice ride! I like it! It is a sweet rolling bike, even with 35's on her.

I think it was colder than the sign in downtown Cedar Falls said it was since my water bottles were frozen within 5 miles. Hmmmm.....

The new bike has a Selle San Marco "Ponza" saddle on it, which, at first blush, is pretty sweet. Jackal had it set up perfectly for me. I'm thinking that I'd recommend this saddle. I run a Fizik Arione on the Colnago and Terry "Fly" saddles on both of my mountain bikes. This Ponza is nothing like any of them. Thin and sleek with minimal padding. I know that 15 miles isn't enough to get a real good feel for it, but for now, let's say that I like it. Not sure about the auxilary brake levers.... I think that they may need to be moved closer to the stem. We'll see how it goes. They may be easier to use without the Salsa Lobster gloves.

That's it for now.

Ride safe.

Peace out, yo!
