Embarrassed to test ride in LBS

[CCinSC]

Thank you everyone for all of the encouraging and funny stories! I went to the LBS yesterday and bought my bikes! It felt like Christmas all over again. I went in for the Trek 1200 but they sold out and couldn't get anymore in so they sold me a full Carbon Raleigh Supercourse for $100 more than the Trek (it listed for $400 more)!!! According to the guy, this bike has better components than the next style of Trek and is full carbon instead of just the forks. My Mt Bike is a Raleigh 4300 and I pick that up on Wed.

Now the test ride He put me on the trainer clipped in and all, fit the bike to me then took me outside for the dreaded test ride! (dun, dun, dun...) I ACED IT! It was so easy, I never wobbled or even second guessed myself with unclipping. All that nervous energy and for nothing! I have to credit horses, dirt-bikes and all of you for the easy ride.

Rode last night and this morning and am in love with the sport already! Now all I need to do is get in good enough shape to ride for more than 10 minutes without needing an oxygen tank!

Congratulations! I'm glad to hear everything went well!

Now all we need is pictures.

But carrying an oxygen tank with you on rides will make you REALLY strong - spesh uphills!


Seriously, glad you have enjoyed it so much... did anyone tell you its an addiction?? - once you're on, you won't wanna get off!
