I got me a road bike!!!

[chick on a bike]

Wow, well it sounds like it's going to be fun learning how to deal with the transition from mountain to road. I know that I was getting really tired of being all the way down in the hardest gear (have a 21 speed MtB) and still desperately begging to click down a few notches just to get more resistance. And now with the one tha I have, it's built for speed and hills, so I hope that I can now race the cars! *lol* What I'd really like to get my hands on is a 30 speed....not that easy to find so it seems...and I haven't looked that hard either! *giggles*

This one has 30 speeds. That's one of the reasons it was my pick when I bought it this spring.

cool beans! congrats on the new ride!!! I have heard that mtn biking helps your road skills and road riding increases your mtn biking stamina... a really great way to cross train is to do both... you'll be a rock in no time at all!!!

*giggles* Thanks! Yeah, riding the roads is what really helped me to get better endurance and everytime I'd get back on the trails with my best bud, I could keep up with him a crud of a lot better. ^^ Every now and then, my body will ask for hills and I'll do a whole bunch (really fun 'cause after you get to the top of the hills then you get to down really fast ). I'm to the point where I like hills...I must be a freak I think....
