First day on my new Rivendell Rambouillet!! Woo-HOOOO!!!!


We drove 5 hours yesterday to go pick it up and bring it home. Crashed in to bed exhausted when we got home. I put the bike in our bedroom the fist night so it would be the very first thing we saw at dawn with the sunrise streaming in on it by the window. (sigh....)
It's my very first bike since 37 years ago(!), so I guess I can show off just a little, ok?...
Managed to get some photos in between my first rides around the neighborhood:

What a s-m-o-o-t-h and beautiful machine, it's like BUTTER.
I'm adapting slowly to drop bars and the new brake locations and the bar-end shifters (whoa- no more neatly labeled numbers!). I love it all already, but still need to practice and learn to do it without thinking so hard. I also have to re-learn my balance while turning, stopping, etc, since the old loaner bike I got used to was smaller and very different proportions.
I knew I could share my excitment with all of you girls- I know you UNDERSTAND these things...

WHEEEEEE!
