THANKS, FLASH-POINT

This my first report after putting on about 250 miles on my FP60s. The first few of those were on my old frame, but most have been on my new Serotta CSI. I've tried the wheels on both bikes, just to see if I could tell a difference from my hold wheels. I provide this background as a prelude to my admission that I am not yet experienced enough a cyclist to really notice subtle differences of the wheel sets ; but when I first rode the FP 60s, I knew I felt good. I climbed easily for not having ridden over the winter, and seemed to roll effortlessly. I had been working out in the gym over the winter, but really believe the wheels made a difference.
On the new bike, I am experiencing a much more sophisticated frame and ride. I was so appreciative that I had the FP60s to put on my new bike; they look great with my white, with red and black trim frame, and I know I have faster, better wheel set than I probably would have bought myself otherwise. I have been going out alone mostly, just adjusting to a whole new set up. For not having ridden from early November to late March, I have been climbing my usual route hills more easily than I remember, and reaching the top with more zip in my legs and lungs to keep pedaling. My coasts are long and fast.
Yesterday, I went out on my first group ride of the Spring - a 42 mile, mostly flat route through suburban Indianapolis. Like they always do, the group went out faster than I wanted to ride, but I am getting smarter, and I didn’t try to keep up but hung back with the "sweeper", letting my legs and heart warm up. After our mid ride stop, I went out with a faster group and for most of the ride hung onto the wheel of the riders in front. On the home stretch, I dropped back again, but was riding well, and going past my companions quite easily on the short climbs we did have. At the end of the ride I felt really good, and know that I am on my way to a very fun and growing 4th summer as a cyclist.
I want to acknowlege and thank Flash-Point Racing for giving me the opportunity to b e a part of a goup of riders who (from what I have read so far) are more experienced and knowledgable than I. I don't know if I will ever race, but I do like improving my capacity to ride with faster groups, and the challenge it provides me. Thank you Flash-Point Racing.
