Hey FishLady. So glad to have you around. It's such a gas here.
Nice photo of your bike. I hope you have a very portable camera because the photo-ops while biking are legion.
I have all sizes of Nikon cameras but the tiny little Nikon L5 fits in my pants pocket and takes great photos.

Another Newbie
Hey Fish ... I'm a newbie as well. I just bought my first bike in May after joining Team in Training. I've been training all summer for my first Century which is Saturday - and I'm TERRIFIED! If you can do 60 you can do 100 - at least that's what I tell myself! I started in May and cried and walked my bike the entire 15 mile ride. My longest ride was 78 miles - and I'm hoping to be in good shape for Saturday!
Look into Team in Training its an incredible introduction to the sport, provides tons of motivation and guidance, and keeps you on the bike.
Welcome!!!

Sure
...
I tried out about 6 or 7 bikes and just found this one to ride and fit the best...
It's a gaint TCR CW, road bike. Before this one I had been riding a steel bike , Nishiki (sp).
Once I got on my new bike, my speed went up a full mile per hour - which was great since my speed before was that of a small turtle, now it's a larger turtle all the way, HA HA HA!
I got new seat yesterday, another drink holder, a pump in case of a flat (How I hope that never happens), and a new under the seat storage thing-y - I'll have to take a new photo and post it later. It still needs a bell or something so I can take a break from yelling "on your left!" once in awhile.
