Well, with the Hawks ahead by 10 in the first quarter Saturday, I headed out for a 60miler on my new set-up, assuming that Iowa would easily beat Northwestern to keep their perfect record. Speaking of perfect, the weather was sweet, especially for November. I had no choice but to put some miles on my new 2010 Madone Red set-up...
Due to a warranty situation, I ended up getting hooked up with a 2010 frame to replace my 2009 that had cracked a bit. Trek made plenty of improvements for 2010, like being 1/3 pound lighter, stiffer (more power transfer), and improved vertical compliance (less bumpy). The cabling is more internal creating sleek lines. I also like the duotrap speed/cadence sensor option that is built into the frame, not too mention the ability to utilize Shimano's Di2 electronic shifting.
Well, this set-up will give me the most advantages at criteriums that involve accelerating and cornerning, or road races with climbing and break-aways...but I can say that I had a nice ride. Can't wait to tear it up next spring.
