Did my first Sunday ride with the LBS in a loooong time. I met the owner early so he could swap cassettes from my old wheels to new wheels I was demo'ing - with the idea of buying - on my old Seven to turn it into my dedicated retro-race bike for du's and tri's (next up is re-doing the front end with new bars and stem). These wheels - Dura Ace hybrid carbon/alloy weigh in at just 1380g/pair and are da BOMB! They roll so smooth and nice and feel so great. I may end up putting them on my ID8.

After that, I met two friends of mine and we started with the main group with the intent of doing the "C-ride" - that is...hang with the group as long as we can, because we'd like to start building up intensity, but it's still early in the season for us, and don't sweat it when we get dropped and then do our own thing and have a good time while we're at it. So we stuck by that rule, and 6 of us ultimately did that kind of ride, having a grand-old time in the process.

I forgot my Garmin at home (D'oh!), and DH recommended I download "My Tracks" - a free Android App - to my phone and use that. So I did, and used my phone to track my ride and then emailed myself the TCX file, which I then uploaded to BikeJournal, Training Center, Garmin Connect, and all of the other mind-bending ways I track my rides and workouts! (Whew!). A very high-tech crash course this morning.
