My new ride

I've got a new ride and I'm just about to burst. I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. I figured people were just riding this thing because Norman Stadler won Kona on one. I've been riding a Cevelo P2C for a year. I lusted after the Cervelo and thought I'd never ride another when I got it. When the opportunity presented itself to ride a Kuota, I was hesitant but curious. Even still, I had doubts that it would measure up. After all, Cervelo is widely regarded in Triathlon circles as THE best TT bike manufacturer. So, what could I expect?

I picked-up my new Kuota Kueen-K last week at Trisports and took it on its first real ride Friday, the Mt. Lemmon ride during Trifest. This ride started with an easy pace 15-mile ride out to the base of Mt. Lemmon at 2,000 ft and then continued the 24-mile climb to nearly 10,000 ft to Summerhaven. I have to say, the Kueen-K is just awesome! I just can't believe how much better this bike feels. Wicked stiff, but incredibly comfortable and even after 85 miles and nearly six hours in the saddle, I was ready for more. After riding again yesterday on some more familiar routes, I'm convinced this is a superior machine. I just couln't remove the grin from my face. I kept shaking my head and saying outloud "Unbelievable..." There is no doubt that the Cervelo is a quality bike and I just couldn't/can't make sense of how the Kuota can feel so much better. I can't wait to ride again. If you are interested in a Kuota, you'd be crazy not to contact me: brad.hendron@gmail.com
