My Madone!

Here she is, and what a ride! OMG, I love it SO much and I've only put 5km on her. LOL. I didn't truly feel the difference until I rode it on familiar roads. It is SO smooth I can't believe it and the acceleration is amazing. Then I had to test it on a hill. I didn't try the big one today because my legs are sore from my run on Sunday, but I rode it up the hill I often do repeats on. I usually slow down to 9.5-10 kmh near the end of that hill and today I was easily doing 14kmh all the way up. I had been worried about moving from my triple to a compact double but the lowest gear felt ok. I am anxious to try it on my 'ugly' hill and see how I do.

Anyway, here are a few pics - one clean, and one geared up. (PS Trek Madone 5.1)
