I think I'm set, training-wise, for the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Did a very hilly 85km back-to-back (camped overnight at Ruckles) between Departure Bay (Nanaimo) to Ruckle Provincial Park on Salt Spring Island. I've got a 100km scheduled for Saturday, and possible 60km for Sunday! I've never been so pumped to ride as I am today!

I've only ever ridden a 2011 CAAD10 5 and I will say this thing is crazy light and pretty comfy for long rides. The only thing is that the brakes aren't 105 to match the other components but they are adequate. And, at least when I bought my bike, it was cheaper than aluminum-framed bikes with comparable components.
EDIT:
AAAaaaalso,
Ryder Hesjedal of Victoria won the Giro d'Italia, marking the first time a Canadian has ever won a Grand Tour!
