This morning I rode out my front door in El Cerrito to the Summit of Mount Diablo. It was my first big ride on my new pink Roadeo, having tackled the travails of Rene Herse Cantilevers and having just set up a new pair of tubeless Rene Herse Orondo Grade tires. It was in the high 40s when I left, just before sunrise. As soon as the sun came out it warmed up quite a bit and was a beautiful breezy Spring Day.
The bike was perfect, the tires were splendid. Despite the planing devotees telling me the Roadeo is over-stiff I respectfully disagree. I posted my second best time on Strava, which I'm pleased with, all things considered. I got after it pretty good. I think when I posted my best time I was 10lbs lighter, during my coaching days. After the descent I headed to Walnut Creek BART, but of course paid a short social visit at Riv HQ. Grant was there, and he grabbed my bike and went and rode it around. The big surprise was Manny was there. I got to meet his delightful young daughter. Grant reported that my bike rides great, and approved of my build. We chatted for a little while, and off I went. 70miles, 5300ft. Multiple compliments received on my pink bike and matching pink socks.
