Saturday Ride

Roller Coaster

70 degrees and sunny.

I was (finally!) on the new bike: a used Bianchi Vigorelli. Yeah, just like I used to have. The bike worked well right out of the box, though I do need to tweak the location of the shifters and adjust the rear mech a bit. The jury is also still out on the Ultegra cranks with 53 and 39 tooth chain rings, too. I miss my compact double already.

As for the ride itself, well, the route is aptly named. McCully Road goes up-down-up-down-up-down in spectacular fashion. The last climb is long and steep, too. I had also forgotten how nice it is to ride the rollers on Mt Royal Boulevard. Too bad the road is a bit busy.
