rollin the cross rig

i decided to break out the cross rig today. Its a bit early for it by looking at the weather, but we have already had 2 cross races in the chicagoland area. Not that i intend to race much cross, but its always a fun ride. I traded up this year to a new Cannondale TJ cross rig, all aluminum. Now my last cross bike had a great nickname of the pumpkin, and the cross hog. This rig is not hog at all! Its super light, nimble, quick and stable all at the same time. It just plain feel fast. Perhaps my old Kona was wore out or old geometry, but this bike is night and day. I set out for my old standby triangle route, west on the Prairie Path to Wheaton, north through Winfield, catch the Great Western Trail, and head southeast for a while until it hits the Prairie Path again for the return trip home. Great ride, the bike impressed me the whole way.

60km, 2.25 hrs, 1234kj

I guess i need to start working on a new nickname for the cross rig
