Oh yes, the new bikes…
The new bikes are totally amazing…and after last weeks training, a treat is just what the doctor ordered. 2 night rides (10pm-1am) and many hours of work, I have been really drained of energy.
On Friday I walked into John Henry’s and was fitted on one of the new Argon’s. An XL frame with all the bells and whistles! I was blown away when I picked it up and realized it weighed next to nothing. I went back to JH on Saturday to bring it home. I didn’t have a chance to ride it till yesterday after it stopped raining. I didn’t want to get it wet! I finally hopped on and went out for a quick 1.5hr tempo ride. That just means that I raced around and kept the pressure on high.
Holly smokes, it was incredible! That bike is light, strong, fast and mean. It sounds crazy on the road too. The carbon frame is quite stiff and creates a cool sounds while riding. The drive train is flawless and shifting is a breeze. I’d never been on a bike like that before. The whole time I had a smile on my face and was thinking about how awesome the cross Canada ride is going to be.A couple days of light riding this week and then this weekend the H2V team is heading out and up into BC’s interior. Apparently 16hrs of riding the first day and 6hrs the following day…yikes! But it will be well worth it after we get to a hideaway cabin for a couple days of swimming and relaxing. Ya!
