My Trek Madone 2.1 Bike is Back

Cleats and the Front Fork of a Trek Madon

Itโ€™s been a while since my last Friday Feet post. I kept trying to get a shot on a Friday with a different pair of shoes and decided this was it. For the first time in 2013 I got back on my bike again, although it was still pretty cold, I did ride for about 10 miles and didnโ€™t bonk. I have high hopes for riding this year, and even higher hopes as the temperature rises into the Spring and Summer. For now, Iโ€™m just trying to rebuild my cardiovascular from far too long a break.

My previous ride was a Trek Madone 4.5 and this year I have moved to this updated aerodynamic frame of the Madone 2.1. At some point after I get a few hundred miles on this frame Iโ€™m going to try to do a review, albeit an amateur review, but I can already feel a few differences between the carbon of the 4.5 and the aluminum of the 2.1, but not too many if you are a rider who isnโ€™t too concerned with winning the next Tour de France.
