Wow Griff that is pretty cool. I normally ride a Trek 1200, it's a nice bike. I'm looking to upgrade by spring of next year, so a friend on post changed out my peddals on a Cannondale Synapse...WOW!!! Dudes, it was like going from my mountain bike to the Trek, it was that different and better.

Oh, so I'm out on the back side of the Airfield on Pope Army Airfield....drafting behind a van in the 35 zone. it was a slight downhill and flat, I don't normally draft vehicles in the 35 mph zone. So, I hear this PA system benind me "STAY TO THE RIGHT!!!!" I look behind me and slow down and President Obama's motorcade drives by....COOL! You see the best stuff when you are out on a bike. I thought a moment about drafting the Prezzes limo but thought better of it cause the Secret Service might not like that too much.
