Ride Description:

Out and Back Spin on a warm winter day. This was my first ride on the Felt with the Molten Speed Wax treated new KMC chain and wow did it feel good. Not only felt good, but it was easy to carry speeds into the 20's at low wattage. So not only did it feel good I believe it tested pretty good. Not to mention that post ride from a dirty path the chain had just a little filth that wiped off with a clean rag and was actually nice to touch without the black oily mess. This seems like the way I personally want to go from now on. 

With it being as warm as it was the path was crowded so this was as fast as I could go without putting a lot of people in harm's way. I really dialed it back once I was in the last 4 to 5 miles because of the crowds, but I am glad families and friends could get out and enjoy the day doing something healthy.
