| I spent all night last night installing a compact crankset on my Supersix in anticipation for my hilly ride. The cranks installed wihtout a hitch but it took me an hour to get the chain’s quicklink off since I haven’t made any tools to make the job easier. |

| We followed the BCI Sat route of the day starting from Irvine going towards Tustin, then Orange and up to Anaheim and back. There were a lot of climbs that I haven’t known about before. The weather was gorgeously clear and comfortable. |

| Special thanks to Eman and his girlfriend for their bacon, eggs and rice patties, without them I would have bonked or worst. As for the Supersix, I was so glad that I had installed a compact on it the night before with all of the hills that we did today. As for the Supersix being a climbing bike though, I'm not so sure. Its firm and smooth, which makes power delivery great but the handling of the bike was so quick for me that when I was tired it was actually hard for me to keep the bike in a straight line. Descending was great though. The responsiveness gives the bike a very motorcycle feel. Cornering while descending was more of a look and lean than turn and steer experience.
