    That is hot. And I, like SheFly, pretty much suitcase or outrigger my bike. Partly because I am short and my bike is small and doesn't have a big triangle to finagle my arm and shoulder through.

    So much fun...I never imagined I could have such a great time being so miserable for 30+ minutes!

    Thanks for the tips SheFly I will try it. I had planned on taking cages off for races just put them on for some mileage on my farm roads.

    Congratulations!

    I suitcase carry my bike for barriers and short obstacles, but we have a lot of long run-ups out here and I much prefer to shoulder the bike for those.

    That seatpost is interesting. What's going on there?

    Wahine, It's specialized new cobble-gobbler seat post. Love it, stock with this model otherwise $200. Have one on the way for my roubaix. I have been riding both bikes and wow. A couple days on the cross bike in my little rolling hill route then I smoke on the road bike. Still waiting on my hubbies cross bike to come in, 61's are hard to find right now.

    Welcome to the forum, Kertha.

    Love the bike. Any reason you prefer the SRAM over the Shimano? Just curious.
