Picked up the Trek Checkpoint SL 5 gen 2 in matte pennyflake. I’ve been jumping between used bikes the last few years, and finally figured out a bike that’s a good fit for my lifestyle. Happy to have picked this up as a birthday present to myself!
Took it on its first gravel ride on the C&O canal this week as a joy ride and enjoy the break in hot weather.
Wish I had the patience to have wrapped this before my first ride, but working on bringing this in to a LBS for a ridewrap soon.
Rigged it with a Dark Realm handlebar bag and a Blue Lug Onigiri 🍙 reflector on the back.
Working on getting a wheelset for road rides with my local group.
