I thought I would share the story of my first real ride on my new Madone. (I got to ride it while visiting Trek in Waterloo, WI, but I was so nervous that I don't really feel I got the full experience.) My "old" bike is a Trek cyclocross bike, and I got it because 3 years ago it was a perfect way to blend my noob road riding with hauling kids around. That XO-1 has seen me through more casual, event, and utility road riding than I can relate, and I think it's a great bike. However, my riding had progressed; I was ready for a lighter, faster bike and very excited when I found out I was getting the Madone 5.1 WSD from Trek!
