Denfending the manondale

Just read Jacobs blog and went straight here to defend my Manondales name.First of all the aluminum, fendered, racked, suspension seat posted(broken), cross tire Manondale is like 13 lbs heavier than Jacobs carbon fiber TCR, secondly the only time the TCR managed to gain time of sorts was climbing Horseshoe valley. That I put on a busy road which when the Manondale caught the bike in question the road was to busy for a pass causing a slow down in cadence which then lead to some hurt in the muscles.There was no dropping of any kind happening today.Bottom line the porsche cayenne (Manondale) kept up rather well with the Telsa Roadster (TCR) and it didn't have to avoid puddles.

Good ride though I have a video of the ski trail ride but there was more walking than riding coming out of the TCR it would have been embarrassing.I'm hoping for this weather to continue and look forward to what looks like a promising weekend.

Cheers.
