I thought I’d compare my typical daily ride with the new bike. Yesterday I did the usual run in just about 1 hour even, 6.4 mph average. This run is about 4 mi of singletrack, followed by 2 miles of double-track to get me back to the car.

Here’s the same trip from a month ago, with the old bike. 10 min longer, and 1 mph slower. I’ve probably gained a bit fitness-wise in the last month, but still, that says a lot for the lighter, bigger-wheeled bike.
