Ok so I'm excited, and have to share. I finally got my new Cannondale out on the road for a good ride (first one)....25 miles of pure unadulerated HEAVEN on earth!!! I am in love with this bike. I live in a very hilly area, and even tackled the hills and didn't die. That's a plus for sure! Anyhoo, the bike bug has bit HARD. Can't wait to go out again! I do believe I shall be living on this bike until the fall rains come back!
