CA 2.0 sighting?
Apr 21st, 2009, 4:41pm
 
Funny thing happened today while I was in Austin. Smiley   A CA 2.0 just happened to attach itself to my bike carrier ,& unbeknownst to me, was transported back to my garage in Frisco. It immediately befriended our exisitng Bacchetta's(Strada & Corsa SS) in the garage(actually taking over the garage,must be the Alpha bike).  Smiley
 
Now,I to test ride this dream machine.  Smiley
 
Here are a few pictures:

Paul is right.  Steve and Pegy both are going to KILL at the TTTT.  Everyone is going to have to fight over who gets to be their partners this year!

Negative. This is John' bike , it will reside in Frisco for a while(so he has bike to ride when he comes to visit for an LSR ride ,etc...), but it's a strange coincidence that John & I have the same leg length. JS would like for me to ride while it resides here. Oh,twist my arm!
 
I rode the sweet machine on a 21 mile interval training session. Holy crap, it pedals/climbs effortlessly. Very fast bike(easily over 30 mph without trying).
 
Here are a few pictures:

Yes, Steve passed that white car . He looks sexy in blue Smiley. The bike didn't have a computer so we have to guess his average speed, but while  I rode with him I had a 21 MPH ,and he was always out in front of me by as much as 1/2 mile. When he rides this bike I will only see him at the start of rides , wait that happens now.   Smiley
 
John"s got a great bike .  Smiley
