Hi today was my first ride. Bright and early this morning at 5 am. It was pretty good I only did 5 of the ten miles I routed but i was a bit nervous about the time. It felt pretty good to get out there after waiting a week for my bike to come in. I ended up with a specialized elite, it was a pretty comfy ride. So overall I feel pretty good about it some problems i did have was that it was sooooooooo dark outside. I am trying to stay away from the main streets but the side streets where i live have no lights. I did purchase lights for my bike but I guess i am just getting spooked out. Also my hands were pretty cold it was 55 in Michigan this morning. my body felt pretty good but i absolutely have to get some gloves for my hands. Overall though I think I had a pretty good first ride.

I know your going to enjoy your bike I am already enjoying mine.

ps my butt is a little sore...but i figure it just has to get use to the seat. It felt pretty comfy initially.
