Pics of My New Wheels

We rode up Mt Diablo, a nice mosey to the summit. Thom got a couple of good pictures today.
There are a few more pics from the ride in our smugmug gallery.

To go faster, 'cause my husband loves me and I'm his favorite thing to spend money on.
Trophy wives are expensive.
Seriously, they are more aerodynamic race wheels. Scary fast descending.

those wheels look great! So it was a noticeable difference, eh?
I keep debating race wheels, but don't know if I can justify the expense (I'm not a terribly fast rider).
great shots, BTW!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

Sweet! Nice wheels; nice husband!

Very spiffy. And a very nice husband!
(Some of the speeds you posted in the other thread...yikes! But I must admit that I'm a chicken.)At least I don't leave slime trails.

Durace 7900 C50s.
Any little downhill and the bike picks up a ton of momentum. I am a pretty quick descender, but I found myself on the brakes a lot more today. You release the brake and the bike moves like a sprinter out of the gate. I think I could have easily hit speeds of 40 - 50 miles an hour if I had been game. Not on a mountain road with two way traffic. Now if the road were closed and I could use both lanes...
