Took the Cervelo R3 for second ride today. Ended up doing a ride of 60 km in length, steep hills, and lots of long inclines, etc, and the last time I did that ride was about 12 years ago when I was doing a lot of riding for fitness.

And it seemed that the hills were not as hard, even the 4 very steep ones.

And I even outgunned and overtook another cyclist- that is a first-never happened when I was riding a lot on my Repco.

I must be a freak-getting fitter and stronger with age and drinking wine despite no riding.

All seriousness- buying this Cervelo R3 has been the best money spent-was in a really crappy filthy angry mood yesterday and 2 hours riding and getting home stuffed today has brought back the good feel endorphins-buggered but calm and happy.

No tingling hands and forearms which happened on the alloy bike after that ride.

If you are like me and like riding but have never owned a carbon fibre bike like a Cervelo- you are missing out. So comfortable in the seat- the stays and carbon fibre seat pole act as shock absorbers-amazing at speed the rear end gets more comfortable-like floating on air.
