First long ride on the Bianchi. I'm settling in quite nicely. More precisely, I'm stretching out so that the reach is comfortable. Strong south wind so sometimes a grind and sometimes like nitro. Either way, I felt like I was moving well. Out on Lawson a couple of fast guys zipped by. I was able to stick with the fourth guy and eventually caught him. About the same time their peloton caught us and zipped away.
I was feeling decent until 106.7k when all of a sudden I felt tired and hungry. I had a gel and made it home.
My fingers haven't learned the RD shifting. It's not difficult but about 10% of the time they hit the wrong button.
Experimenting with the
ridewithgps.com app for nav. My phone's battery almost went dead. I hope I can find a way to slow the drain and make it work.
