On Saturday May the 2nd we were lucky to have picture perfect spring weather for our first ever group/demo ride with Giant Bikes. We had a great turn out of seasoned cyclist's and beginners eager to head out for a casual 30k ride in the country. The support from Giant was amazing, they had a full fleet of bikes for us to try out including the responsive TCR Advanced, the comfortably stable Defy, and the women's specific Avail. It was amazing to see that many Dura-Ace equipped bikes hanging around the parking lot just begging to be ridden. Our route took us across Lower Base Line over to Fourth then back across Britainia, It was a great route with one small climb and a great tailwind coming back across Britainia that really gave people a chance to see what the bikes were capable of. My ride of the day was the TCR Advanced SL I was blown away by the stiffness and responsiveness of the bike, I hung back a few times so that I could launch into a couple sprints and damn did that bike want to go. Overall everyone had a great time and I would once again like to thank Giant bikes for providing us with this opportunity. I'm looking forward to our next ride.
