So..untill 2 days ago, my ride was a MTB, with road tires (my monster! I rode the wheels off it, and my darling bf just bought me a TREK 2.1.

Relative to the old bike, it is hot, sexy sleek and light. Good. Feeling like a kindergartener with the training wheels off? A little unnerving. It's so different from the mountain bike, that I'll admit, I'm a little shaky on it. Other than just logging time on it, any suggestions for getting used to it? I just not used to riding a road bike, and I can't decide how long I should ride solo, before joining a group. (I recently moved, and and just settling in to my new town, leaving my old band of fiends ).
