My first ride w/pics!

Hi Everyone,

here I am on my new GT - it was perfect weather today. We only went 20 miles or so, but I think that was just right for my first time out. The chamois in my shorts saved my ***, literally! Tomorrow I will be 46 yo - and my brother-n-law surprised me by buying me new gloves when we stopped at the bike shop! Brought with me some homemade vegan friendly crackers, that were the perfect snack. My brother-n-law very kindly explained biking etiquette as we went along. I learned a ton and had a fantastic time...can't wait until my next day off to do it again...I have to work on my birthday, but will have some very fond memories of being out on the trail today.

Anyway...here are a couple of pics!
