Little bit of Cannondale love today - took the old '05 CAAD 8 out for a spin today. Freshly cleaned and running smooth especially on the 28mm Gravel Kings that I have not bothered to take off.
Went off on my route through the burbs and out to St. Ives (sydney). On the way back I decided to take a left and head to the old fire trails I used to MTB on and see if they'd paved the cycle route there. They had, for about 1 k. Pushed on and 4 kilometres of unintentional MTB trails, rocky decents, creek crossings and sandy trails I got back home. Bike dirty, but totally intact and it was surprisingly able to get through and up everything. Was fun. Much love to C'dale for making a great bike and Panaracer for a great tyre!
