Hi All
Just did another 40 mile ride through southern NH tonight.. pretty hot , in the mid 80's but like it warm when riding...
According to my Garmin GPS, over the entire ride I averaged 17.6 mph... over the first 21 m I was going at 19.3 mph.. these are great numbers for me, much better then last year when I was using my regular road bike.
These long rides are SO MUCH more comfortable. On the flat sections the Silvio really cruises nicely! And except for super steep hills (18%grade or more) the hill climbing is just as good and more comfortable then my road bike.
After the ride, I felt great, no pain in my back or joints.
I briefly rode my regular road bike a couple of days ago for yuks, and it was not comfortable. Besides I think I heard my Silvio crying, sorry won't do that again!
Loving it more and more!
