Hi, I am 100% new to cycling. I have been out on about 5 rides now and I am able to tell that I am going to really love it! however, i am so new that i know absolutely nothing. i have a road bike...cannondale r2000 caa4 a few years old, but works great. i started using clipless pedals from day one so i would be use to them (very nerve wracking!) i go about 12-13 miles on my rides (Lake Natoma loop) average time about 1 hour give or take. have most of the gear (shoes, jersey, shorts and water bottles of course!) i would appreciate any helpful info from whomever is kind enough to respond. ie:
-diet
-training for races
-cycling etiquette (on rides)
-riding with a trailer and/or a copilot (15 month old)
-weight loss
-groups in my area (beginners)
-training partners
-etc...
thanks all,
roro
