    Glad you love the position. It seems people either love it or hate it- but most will love it given time. Each season I have to recondition my neck for aero, but it's the most comfortable position ever! So much more power, and my hands never go numb.
    Now we need a pic with Rosita and her new setup.

    Ride no. 2.

    Afterburner. That describes it best. Same effort, you just zoom along (could it be euphoria-induced performance, dunno)and I really noticed the wind on my arms when I descended in the drops (I'm not nuts). I didn't even get trouble breathing. I was a bit afraid of that.

    Also I'm not swaying nearly as much as I feared, according to my bf.

    Underarms are sore now from really engaging in the pads...

    and I can still climb, the top position on the bar is still there (well I knew it was going to be there, or I wouldn't have installed them). Thighs sometimes brush the armpads when climbing. I got up a 15% hill with just the 27cog (used to have 29).
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
