Well, let me tell you, Ken, 180 km on a track bike is only fun for about the 1st 1/2 of the ride. Luckily there were no really big hills, just softly rolling ones. In fact, the downhills were worse than up - I was quite envious that everyone else could coast, get down into a nice aero-tuck, and zip down easily at 70 or 75 kph. Last "training ride" I went on, I borrowed a road bike, and it was wonderful. Now that I'm not couriering anymore, and getting out on longer rides to stay in shape, I really have to get a proper road bike. I love my track bike, but it's really only practical in town. I have a friend who bought a Cervelo frame from the factory, and he's willing to part with it for about 1/4 the price of a new one... (if only I could afford one even at that price). I'm glad I did yesterday on a track bike, just to say I did it. After that, it's just being foolhardy <vbg>. cheers, frank ===== "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
