To the parking lot it will be! That's a great idea, thanks! That is exactly what I need to do. Some ziggin and zaggin, without the risk of a head on collision!

Hi tofu,

I, too, am new to a road bike. My new bf (who I met mtb-ing) is a roadie at heart. He said I'd love it if I road w/him, OK, he's right, I do. I have borrowed a bike from a girlfriend, fortunately only needed minor adjustments to her seat to fit me. BF has taken me out a couple times on paved path trails, first rides at 35 degrees! How many people actually start w/cold weather riding...I must be nuts! He's made sure I'm dressed weather appropriate, he's been patient, encouraging, supportive and has even picked out the bike he thinks would be a good fit for me. Now I need the bonus $$ to buy it.

It has been a bit different getting used to it, but I find road riding to be a nice fit, though I think mtb will always be my fav! What I need to learn most is nutrition for sustaining my energy, our rides have each been 25-30 miles (not a problem) but the return ride has had hearty winds.

We are heading out at noon for a nice 40 degree, 30 mile, Thanksgiving Day ride. Happy riding to you. When I get this new, sleek, skinny wheeled wonder, I'll show her off.
