Thanks. I do have 'sperience riding with a group, I think I just need a few days to zen out with the new bike...become one with it, if you will. I need to adjust the tension on the pedals, and I have a fitting scheduled for Friday. Moslty it is just so much lighter and responsive than my monster. I hope soon to do it justice. It still needs a name, reserved parking, and it's own blanket. (yes, it's in the bedroom, where I can whisper sweet nothings in its spokes).
