Test ride for Kathy

Today we are at Evans Cycles in wimbledon taking a Cannondale  Synapse 6 out for a test ride. If all goes well we will be bringing it home and Kathy will have a new summer bike.
 The guy at the shop is once again really helpful and gets the bike set up for Kathy ready for us to head out. We leave the deposit and ID at the shop and head out onto the streets of Wimbledon. It is Kathy's first time on drop handlebars so we do the backroads first. A good job as it turns out as I have given Kathy lots of instruction on the gears and changing using the STI levers but have failed to explain the brakes!! Yes they are the same levers but Kathy didn't know this. Anyway we stop without hitting anything and head off for wider Wimbledon and in search of some hills to test it all out. All goes well the bike is brilliant and I think Kathy is in love! So back to the shop where we get a shorter stem fitted it's a bit too long for her and a quick go on the turbo then its off to pay for what is about to become Kathy's new bike!!

Well that was easy all we have to do now is get it safely home and look forward to some summer weather.

Oh and yes of course it is white and blue!!
