Bike Update

Things are a little quiet on the discussions and planning with the charity front at the moment. so..

We now have both bikes and they have been serviced by our trusty local bike shop (thanks to Dave @ Cyclezone in Crowthorne).

Currently I've only had a brief (10 miles at 0 to -1 degree temperatures) check ride on mine plus a couple of turbo sessions. P has an additional road test under his belt and they are feeling good.

Mine - 2011 Cannondale Synapse 5 Carbon -105..
Sweet looking, light , nimble and comfortable (SAVE micro suspension)..really liking the direct response when I push the pedals harder.

P  - 2008 Specialized S-Works Roubaix - DuraAce
Second hand find. Ridiculously light and nimble, and as close to a pro team race bike as we are gonna get (saying this, I know Liquigas have used the Synapse in Paris-Roubaix rather than their normal SuperSix). It really is a nice bike.

Hoping for a longer ride out this Sunday.

No doubt pics will follow at some point..

Oh. and my 2011 Ridley EOS is now up on Ebay...if anyone is interested in a good 58cm sportive/winter bike...have a look http://tinyurl.com/7lgls9m

Edit - the Ridley has now been sold - Edit
