Great thread. The first month on my road bike (still in my first year), I rode brave and happy and stayed upright until beginner's luck ran out. It ran out on May 15!And then I started to be realistic about how I had not ridden a bike since I was a a child, or done anything else that required any athletic skill orfitness. I am just now seeing how much I have to learn about my balance and ALL the road skills that others seem to take for granted. When I see DH ride no-hands for fun, I just want to cry! I'm still FORCING myself to ride one-handed to signal. (And I make myself signal even if I'm the only human being for miles, just to practice.) So I guess I"m solidly in that awkward stage of learning how much I have to learn.
But those moments of feeling free and strong make it worth hanging in there.
