Congratulations on your new Ruby! Another fellow Norcal rider here. I tested the Ruby during my bike hunt and loved it too - ended up getting a better deal for me at the time on a Synapse which I absolutely love. I've been debating whether or not to join the Velo Riders group...I'm not fully geared up with the clothing and clipless shoes though so I'd probably be kind of out of place. Have fun riding! We are truly lucky to live in an area with such great biking weather!
