Aero Bars are COOL!!!! (supposed to be in the title but for some reason I can't type up there)
I've had them on my bike for over a year but never really felt very comfortable using them so I never did use them. Now I am feeling like my Pilate's is really helping my core strength and flexibility and my bike fit is better tuned so I started dropping down into my aero more often and who knew just how much faster that made you? Now i know why everyone uses them :-)
Still a bit of a struggle getting in and out of them but that is just a lack of handling skills and i will get over that someday, but i feel fast and comfortable in them. I need to develop a feel for what climbs and descents are too steep for me to be in them but it is another boost to my confidence about my race! If only it wasn't 7 weeks away!
