After weeks of having my Scott Addict R1 frameset sitting around, I finally completed the build on Friday evening ready for the Saturday morning group ride.

Late night bike building session complete!

Going from riding a 20-plus pound training bike to a way lighter Addict R1 is quite a difference... I forgot what a real race bike felt like until Saturday morning. Well, I did get in a few laps of my parking structure on Friday night but that was just to make sure it was all working smoothly. On Saturday I was able to put it through it's paces... Wow. So much fun! Climbs well, feels stiffer than my old Cervelo when out of the saddle, and simply goes fast!

Better photos and review to follow after I've put more time in on it.

O'ahu just had it's first real spring well of 2010 with 4-7ft waves forecast for Sunday, so I spent 4hrs in the ocean on Sunday. Talk about fun!!! 4hr or surf was followed by eating, and a 4hr nap!
