Why do you feel that you needed to ride so fast or so hard? I think you and your bike need to get to know each other better first. I also think that you think that because your bike is more expensive than your last one that you should automatically be able to do bigger and better things right away. Slow down. Properly train. Don't bite off more than you can chew and in time you'll be able to do all you want to on your great new bike. Live and learn, right?
You're absolutely right!
