That's a big yay from me. Bar being so close to AJC's lycra clad are.
You were loving it! I even got a little wiggle on

As for the wheels, very good from what I can tell. Knocked another minute off my main climb time and avg speed seems to have gone up. New chain and cassette will help as well though.

It was a great day, I do enjoy being out on the bike. I've contacted Strava themselves about linking up my three segments today to make one whole route.

Pure porn at Icebike today. Wish I'd gone on Friday, as there were some right bargains in the stock clearance section

I can't wait to see a few pictures of his, some lovely close ups of the niceness, I was hoping for a review by now. I suppose one will come soon enough.

Course you can

Dont buy new, all my Garmins have been 2nd hand. Dont buy a 200 though. Plenty of 500's going cheap and a good unit, you dont really need mapping, just data
