It was time for family vacation again over Christmas, this
time to visit family in Puerto Rico. This year I happily obliged as I saw an
opportunity to get in some high volume training under the sun, so I decided to
bring my bike with me on the trip. Actually, I brought my wife’s bike. Even
though the frame is a little bit too small for me, I figured out that the Scott
Addict XS should work fine for two weeks. On top of that, my wife had nice Di2
shifters and most importantly disc brakes and sturdier wheels compared to my
road bike. This was good to have on the steep and often wet descents from the
mountain regions, and the sturdier wheels were great to have on the rough patches
of pavement to minimize the risk of punctures. Not to much problems getting the
bike on the plane, had to argue a little to not pay extra fee as United has
bike “FoC”, but ended up paying one way fee due to the overweight - the bag was
stuffed with all training gear on the way back as we needed space for Christmas
presents received…
Biking by the beach. Hot...
