In a hurry to get out before something else would hold me up, I get 4.5 miles out and a gust of wind hit me and felt like it went right through my head... I felt my head and realized I didn't have a helmet on! So when I got to the first turnoff I went back home to get it. On the way back it started to sprinkle. I finally get home get my helmet and the when I got out, the ground was wet, but no rain. So I decided to do a short out and back minor hill ride to see how the new bike fit was on some hills, which was most important. The first leg of my ride I definitely felt the difference. I was generating a lot more power but not speed, steering was comfortable, solid and controlled. It was a little more windy than it was forecasted but very tame as compared to last week! The second leg of my hill ride, was much faster than I had been on any hill, but much slower than on the road bike! One other thing I was able to do and feel strong was ride out of the saddle. Before it felt like I was way over the front wheel and pushing it into the ground. This fit correction corrected the saddle nose minimum setback according to UCI rules. I accidentally set it the wrong direction, lol. I also had to move the aero bars back, so I wouldn't be over reaching, I moved the elbow pads in one inch on each side bringing them closer together and raised the saddle slightly! Now I feel much better not fighting to hold my position or in undue pain! I thought my cadence was better but looking at the results it wasn't, I need to work on that. The adventure continues...
