Napa California 2008 Tour de Cure 5/4/2008

Although I haven't been riding consistently, I felt good riding the 50 miler. The Schwinn Paramount is a bit heavy but I guess the fit was dead on that it didn't matter on those rollers. The aero profile of the Dura Ace AX handle bar helped too on those long flat stretches. My hand position was perfect on the drops due to the outward flare of the drop bar that I figured I'll start hunting for that feature on drop bars. A custom bar is probably my best bet if I can find a builder that does custom handle bars. I've tried bending drop bars before when I was young, s!@#$%^ and didn't have much care for the world that got me a lot of missing skin when those darn bars break. :) :) :)
