My new bike rocks! (Felt 2011 B16) (Page 2)

Thank God somebody else noticed! It's been bugging me every time I look at my bike! I'll switch it to white eventually but why a different shade of green? Doesn't make sense! 

Nice bike!  I know you waited a long time to get it, and I think you will find the wait was well worth it.

That is the bike I am saving for.  Hopefully I can scrape up enough by my birthday in March to pick one up. 

I did the same ride today without the crazy wind to deal with.  It did become quickly apparent that my legs were sore and were NOT going to be at 100%.  As I got back into my neighborhood I was thinking I had about the same time as yesterday.

Um, nope.  Shaved off another 4 minutes!


So with the new bike I have knocked 9 minutes off of a 25.7 mile loop.  I am stoked.  No doubt I will be absolutely flying by next season.  (I plan to ride thought the winter, on the TT when clear and on the hybrid when messy out.)

Now if I can just make myself start running....

congrats on the new bike, it looks pretty sweet.

Test rode one today.
Nice bike. 

Felts are great bikes, grats on the purchase.

Now that the hybrids done, there's no excuses on race day.  Go out there and kick some a$$!!

Nice bike Eric!  It won't be hard to spot you next season!

More data to report!

Today I did a long ride. 60 miles.  (This was my 3rd ride over 50 miles, ever.)

The last time I did this loop (8/7/10) I did 58.6 miles in 4:40.
Today was 60 miles in 4:01.

That is a savings of over 40 minutes for a HIM bike leg length!  That was the time on my bike computer which is probably apples to apples to the 4:40 from before. Even by my watch it was 4:20 with stops to eat/drink/RR.  Even 20 minutes looks great to me.

And while not exactly COLD yet, my toes quickly went numb and I was hardly comfortable for any of the ride.

I can only imagine how things will progress for me when the weather turns warm again next year.


And that makes 250+ miles on the new ride.  Too bad it's gonna be trainer time soon.

Very, very nice bike!

And I happen to like all the colours  

Nice job on the long rides too! 

Congrats! Just curious if you went to Elite Cycling? That is where I got my p1 in Sept, Jeff is a great guy to work with

Yup.

And here's some updated pics of the cockpit with different extensions, Aero Hammock and a light clipped on.
