Trek Road Bike - Madone 3.1



Purchased in 2014 @ Helen's Cycle in Arcadia, this is my first road bike (54.3 cm H2).  The Trek Madone 3.1 is an intro level carbon bike with some solid components.  Once I learned the basics of the bike, it has been very smooth and reliable.  This summer, I found a route from home that allowed me to ride comfortably for 20 or more miles without a lot of traffic, in a bike lane, and with some climbs if I choose.  I recently added a front and rear lights for road safety.  Unlike mountain biking, I find road biking more calm and meditative.  I look forward to riding the Santa Ana River Trail or riding to the beach again in the future.
