I just got my new bike from REI. Yeah!! Now I just have to learn how to ride it. It is my first bike I have ever bought and my first road bike (that means skinny tires) and it didn't come cheap. I got to ride it for the first time last night and it is fast. Watch out for those doing the Admiral triathlon I am going to come flying down the road leaving, I hope, at least someone in my dust. Haha!
I am hoping to take a simple class offered by REI to learn to take care of the bike. I may know how to peddle and kind of balance, but ask me to change a flat or understand the gears and my answer is, "Haah?" So I now embark on my next step in preparing for triathlons.
