Aero bars rock

Believe it or not, I've put a whole year of racing under my belt and NEVER used aero bars. So...I finally was convinced to get a pair set up on my Ruby for the IceBreaker on Sunday. I figured giving them a try before the race would be a good thing so I cruised to work this morning on 'em and wow...what a difference they make! I guess all that 'aero position' hype is really true ;) Maybe this will make time trialing somewhat more enjoyable!

I had to smooth out my pedal stroke a tad or risk being a bit bobbly. The position feels great though and I definitely cruise along faster. Now unfortunately it's raining and I still have to ride home. I don't mind the rain but I'd rather not get my Ruby all dirty. Sad isn't it?
