The First Couple of Rides

First ride wa over a short but pretty steep local hill. I wasn't expecting much from the bike, groupset and the wheels...well the wheels from riding the Wakes and Peaks I kind of expected to be top but other parts of this custom built road bike were new to me. I was blown away by the comfort of the whole ride, fast precision shifting and amazing breaking of Campagnolo and the feel of the bike was just something I was hoping for but didn't expect it. This ended the first test ride....quick one hour test.

The second ride was different. From Cres island to Krk island and then back to Cres. Around 75 killometeres of almost zero straights and around 35 kilometeres of climbing. When my energy was still on a high level my legs burned but more importantly the wheels spen fast, the bike handled super strong gusts of winds like a champ and I felt like a Superman.  but when I got back to the final 10km climb...well I was empty. Don't want to dwell to much on it but I felt like shit! 

What I got out of the rides. The wheels feel comfortable yet fast. Light but still strong and stiff. In the wind the whole setup felt good so if you are riding in the area where you have a lot of wind this are the wheels to get!
