Cost of both components is a premium vs. calipers and aluminum rims. I guess longevity of replacing a disc rotor vs a rim with a work brake track if you run heavy mileage is a consideration
For me, I'd never ride in the rain or inclement weather, so I'd never see the benefit of discs.

For long morning rides, do you guys eat before you go or do you wait until you get home to have breakfast? And have gels/bars on the road?
I've mostly been riding in the evening after work so I don't really have any experience going early morning.

I've mostly been riding in the evening after work so I don't really have any experience going early morning. | Never go morning rides without breakfast. Always eat light the night before anticipating a long ride the next morning.
whole grain stuff and oatmeal with fresh fruit is good for slow and consistent energy release.
Always start off with a nice gulp of water and pre hydrate before every ride and go out with at least a bottle with some sort of electrolyte in it. I use some gatorade powder.
Personally, I hate gels. They're quick and gets energy to your blood, but i simply cannot take the after taste of most gels and having to chase with water. I prefer the stuff that has a bit more substance to it like a chew or bar. Those honey stingers I got in penticton are pretty damn awesome though. I wish I loaded up my pockets with the packs of them.

I'll have to make the call soon on how much "fun" I want to have at a reception the night before the FV fondo. That's the deciding factor.....
