Bud I forgot you had both bikes there how did the lowracer perform for you compared to the bacchetta on the hilly course?

There was very little difference in speed. If I had realized I was going to race, I would have tried to get in a lot more miles on the Roadster beforehand. I can tell it's the slightly faster bike, but I don't have enough hours on it to be as dialed in as I am with the Corsa.
 
After four laps, with my legs pretty much fried, I switched back to the Corsa just because of the instant adjust seat recline. That seems to help recruit different muscles when I'm really tired.

"I sent this article to Bryan the week after the time trials, but he deemed it unfit to publish, so I thought I'd post it instead."
