Another Sunny start to the day, so I changed wheels and pulled my 'best' bike out for it's first ride of the year. :D:D
Superb.
New saddle was a little harsh, but that'll soon give (or, my a*se will!).
But the biggest slap in the face, when comparing my Winter/Summer bikes, is that the SRAM Force is way better than the 'new' Ultegra, so slick and responsive (Force).

Look out in 'Classifieds' for a 6700 Ultegra groupset sale, soon... :roll:

    I had similar thoughts riding home from work this afternoon. Glorious weather. First ride of the year without my jacket.

    Half an hour later, it was blowing a gale and hailstoning!

    Spoiling the weather. That and all the manure on the roads this weekend...

    Just totted up, and so far I've managed almost 12 hours riding since the weather changed (5 days!). :wink:
    I bet tomorrow will be wet though...
