Love the video. As alex said awesome wheels. So i have a question for ya, i am thinking about buying the caad 10 and i was wondering if it performs well? Do you recommend this bike?

@Mattar2345 The CAAD 10 has been awesome for me. It feels stiff and responsive for sprints (not that I have much sprinting power... I need all the help I can get) yet compliant for a smooth ride when going long distances. I am more of a long distance guy so this has been an outstanding bike because it is good for both long distance and speed. As a team we talked about getting aero frames and went with the Aluminum CAAD 10 for durability in road races. It turned out to be a great choice.

@atkimw Thanks alot! I just ordered it and it should get here wednesday. Then on saterday i will hopefully do my first race. Do you know how well this bike would do in a time trial? sorry for all the questions.

@Mattar2345 Since this is not an aero frame it is not well suited for a traditional time trial. It will be efficient as far as power transfer but you will loose a lot of advantage simply because of the road bike design. Aero bars and a TT helmet might give you a good portion of the disadvantage back. A lot of shops will rent aero equipment (helmet, wheels, bars, etc) if you want to test the water.

Thanks Alex, it was a hot/sunny/windy race day. The field did not seem to have it that day. One of the Notre Dame/ProForm riders bridged over to the two man break. The three of them stayed away the entire race. I inserted a few clips from the lead car but the camera was zoomed out too much to get any detail.
