Time Trial Bike Set Up

Went to Mike Boester at the Palo Alto Bike Connection who set me up on the Scott Road Bike. He raised my seat on the Cervelo by more than a CM as at 80 CM it might match the Scott bike, but due to the different geometry and the more forward position, it needed to go higher. He also tweaked my bars to make it more comfortable. Going to ride in the TT bike to work tomorrow to test it out, but the little ride back felt great. Mike is a TT specialist and said he finished behind Kevin Metcalf in the early 90's on the state championships. He really takes his time and confidently set me up. Based on what he did on my Scott, I am pretty optimistic about this and how it can help in Race Across Oregon.

Heh. No kidding. The Scott the hills, and the Cervelo for the few rollers out there. Would guess it will be maybe 100-150 miles that make sense for the Cervelo as most of the route is up and down. The cervelo would be great for the hoodoo or the 508 as those courses have a ton of rollers..
