It feels like flying on The Scott Contessa Foil!!!! It weighs approx 16lbs and very easy to shift. It is surprisingly comfortable although in a very racing form.
I am in the Catskills for the weekend and will be climbing a lot.
It's a great place to practice my gears, clipping in and out and riding in traffic. Not much traffic except for in town. Cars are very courteous to bikes here.
I did fall initially because I could not get my left foot out of the spd clips.
I loosen it and has not been a problem. I fell standing stii, just like those comedy shows. No one saw me, what a klutz. The bike was unscathed
And since it was a slow fall no injuries. Had to laugh
I have been using clip in pedals for years on the tandem, these were just too tight.
Rode the tandem around Hunter, prattsville, Windham yesterday.
Absolutely beautiful. Did a hilly 35 miles.
Hope to do the same on my single bike tomorrow. I have to learn how to shift on these new gears. It is so different from my hybrid.
Thinking of training for a century. I have done 60 on the tandem.
I bought the cyclist training bible. Any other suggestion on books?
Thanks for the Comradship.
