Light Sabe_r - you absolutely achieved... way to go girl!

The road bike is quite remarkably different to a hybrid, and I am so used to being on a road bike I now I feel the same way when I hop back on a hybrid as you do about a roadie... positions, weight dispersal, even gearing... every seems different

But well done, and keep on... I find road bikes excellent to handle in traffic - much more responsive and lighter...

Keep us posted about your increasing accomplishments with it.
