You said, essentially what DH said, in that this is not my fast bike. Except that this ride is hilly... my first mile and a half is all downhill, and I go slowly, no matter what here.
I am just pissed that others seem to be able to go fast on heavy bikes (although this bike is not heavy) and I feel like a weakling. That coupled with the very difficult weights and core stuff I'm doing is just making me feel frisking old.
I will be riding it tomorrow at 6:30 AM, so I guarantee it will be slow!
