Day 7 - Rapha Rising

TODAY'S RIDE
5.8 miles, 880'
TOTAL:
75.2 miles, 8645'
TOUR DE FRANCE Stage 7: Cavendish and Thor stays in yellow.  Cav wins 2nd stage of tour.  Wiggins crashed out, Boonen stopped from his injuries on Stage 5, Horner and Levi crash.  Horner loses over 12 minutes today and I was hoping he'll do well too.  Damn.  Cadel stays 1 second down on GC.



First ride with Mama Celeste.  On my road rides the bike felt a bit twitchy.  Well with cross tires on dirt, it handles perfectly.  The reactions are great, not too fast and not too slow.  Even going slow uphill, the handling is stable (much better than the Surly).  Descends well and when climbing out of the saddle, it goes and just wants me to go faster.  Balance real well and added bonus is no toe overlap.  Can't believe it since I'm a midfoot cleat rider now.

Mama Celeste in her element.
