+1 for the MEC quattro. Its fairly bright and has 3 modes.

for the guys that have experience with Look and Shimano spd-sl pedals, is there a noticeable difference in terms of engagement technique/feel?

I've had my damn look keo max's sitting in my drawer for months and I'm going to make an effort to get my fit/tune this weekend. Just want to know what I'm in for when I get them installed!

I think between the Shimano SPD-SL and the Look they will be very similar. They use a similar mechanism from what I can see when my friend uses his pedals and from looking at them.

I'm very happy with my Look Keo 2 Max pedals when compared to my old SPD non-SL pedals as they engage smoother and provide a bigger platform to transfer power. They are also easier to get it and out of compared to the SPD.

This is pretty cool!!

I'll be driving to cypress as well this afternoon for hopefully 2 hill repeats. Bring on the heat. haha

Last big ride tomorrow before the fondo for me. Taking a couple days off to make sure I'm 100% then its GO TIMEEEE!!

Nice. Good luck on the Fondo for everyone. Now i'm wishing i've registered. haha.

edit: there should be a "revscene" pelaton/group ride to Squamish to conserve energy then all out after Squamish to Whistler. hehe

you can still register!

at the granfesta on sept 6th! 11am-8pm at the convention center. where you pick up the package.

What a big mistake driving to Cypress is. I got down, and my knees were killing. Proper warm up required!

For those who have done the Fondo can our girlfriends and friends chill inside the celebration plaza up in whistler?

i think i read somewhere that they can, even underage ones even though theres alcohol. if not then our gf's are screwed waiting around lol. i think just parts of or like maybe the food etc are only for participants.

Met a fellow at the top of Cypress with a beautiful bike. Complete Dura-ace groupo. His frame is worth more than my entire bicycle.
