Well I've been on my first ride. Just around the Murrarie track of the Balmoral cycling club. Clipping in with my right foot is a chore... But my left is a subconcious clip in... I didn't even realise I'd done it until I started pedalling!!!
So We practiced clipping in and out, changing gears and different positions on the handle bars. ^_^
The really uncanny thing was about halfway though our ride, we passed another woman on a SUBZERO.1!!! (the same bike without the carbon chainstay, cept it's blue)
We had a good laugh at each other. Since she'd only gotten her bike that weekend too!
Even though I don't have a computer on her yet... BF tells me our speed got up to 35km per hour... UPHILL. (albeit it was a little hill. he he he) And 40 on the flats.
It was a struggle to get my hybrid to that speed because it was soo heavy. THIS just felt like we were crusing.
All in all I think I'm going to like this transition to road riding. Just gotta keep up the practice so I can ride well at the triathlon in two weeks... EEEEP!
