2nd ride. Ripped the bad tape job off and adjusted my hoods inwards (essentially 360 at the hoods). Bike feels awesome. Today I rode with a Mark who’s a tall mother and won a few local crit races. At one stage he went for a sprint expecting to leave Reggie and I behind but I stuck on his wheel and when he turned around at the end of his sprint to find me right next to him he was quite literally surprised!

One for the ego for sure, but above all it’s confirmation that all this riding I’ve been doing the past 5+ months is starting to pay off.

PS: The Specialized S-Works Power with Mirror saddle is just SO comfy it’s ridiculous. I hate how it looks. I hate how grippy it is. I especially hate that it weighs 203g… but damn. It’s SO comfy I’m not sure I’m ready to replace it with a Berk, yet.
