First longer distance ride on the TT bike

The road bike was too filthy and it was too late last night to think about riding it today. On one of my local rides earlier this week I went through this area on the road that had wet ultra-fine dirt and it covered the bike. You'd think it was a 'cross bike or something by the looks of it.

I decided to take the TT bike out instead since it was much cleaner and getting it cleaned and ready for today was an easy chore. I felt good today on the bike. I always like riding the TT bike over the road one. It just feels more comfortable and like I get better power transfer. Of course there's the other thing too...less wind resistance.

I rode 57 miles and did it in 2 hours 45 minutes even. I'm pretty darn pleased with that. I am beat as a result though.
