Buying a new bike...suggestions??

[bikerHen]

Hey CG - I've had my bike about three weeks and I'm still eating bugs everytime I ride. I can cruise on the flat at about 20 mph with little effort! A sweet ride it is. My speed is up about 2 MPHs on the flat and on hills as well. While I am in no danger of shedding my hill slug status just yet, I am feeling more confident and am trying some bigger/longer hills. Having this new bike makes me think I can try a 50 mile ride in two weeks. Well see! Have fun and just think of all those bugs as protien. bikerHen

Best of luck with your new bike and glad to hear you are loving it. I can relate to the smile. I find myself smiling as I am riding and think what people are saying when they see the lady on the red bike riding with a silly grin on her face. But what the heck.

Riding in bike lanes from lake to lake. That sounds wonderful. I never heard of Lakeland Fl. but it sure sounds like looking into should we decide to move out of NY.

Hope your weekend will include more glorious rides.
