It was a great evening into night to ride even with the strong 20 mph headwinds! The wind definitely made you concentrate on what you were doing for sure. I took out the Scott Foil Premium hoping it would handle the wind better. The Scott handle the headwind better, I couldn't tell too much on the side wind because when the side winds were the heaviest, I was well shielded by trees and vehicles. The Scott is way stiffer than the Specialized Tarmac. Both do a great job, the difference seems on the Scott I feel my legs feel more extended and over the bike vs on the Specialized I feel my legs feel less extended and I feel more in the bike. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense. Think sitting inside a car vs on a motorcycle would be the Scott. Both bikes are set up identically with the same leg extension on the pedals. Back to the ride, I felt good for most of it with lower back pains out of the gate. Stopped 12 miles into the ride stretch back which made a big difference. This ride was much longer and had more hills, the distance didn't seem to kill me but the extra hills did put a hurting on me. Quads started to cramp while standing on the last 1/3 and big time on the last 2 hills luckily they were short like 1/4 mile each. Now to see how I feel tomorrow?
