No pics for a few days. Cannondale put the seat and handlebars for the black version in my box. They are sending the white replacements. Should arrive today. It will be so much prettier outfitted properly in white.

I will be meeting my husband for ride #3 at 4pm est. Mistletoe park again. He went out for a training ride and I will drive to the park and meet him. We ride around together and then put both bikes on the truck and drive home.

I took a short ride on the "real road" yesterday. It is much scarier than it was in my 20's and 30's. When I get my pedals we will go to the Fort Gordon Army Base. Very little traffic and nice long loops.

I frequent the Airstream Forum, which uses this same forum format, and they have more features available. One that is nice is the ability to "thank" people individually with a special little button. They have a lot more members and offer a "Supporting Member" option. They also have more advertisers. They must subscribe to the Cadillac Plan.

Thanks to everyone for your comments!

There I was, sitting in the parking lot waiting for my husband to pedal up and I realized I had forgotten my helmet and gloves! So I fired up the truck and headed for home. When I passed my husband on the access road he gave me a "what's up?" gesture. When he called I explained my mistake and he was glad because he had miscalculated his time and was almost ten miles short. He rode a park loop while I drove the ten mile round trip home.
So all worked out fine.

We rode over 11 miles this time. I was more confident on the descents and my shifting was improved.

My shoes came in yesterday so I took my bike in to get fitted with my pedals today. Tomorrow I will be riding on my hard packed Georgia clay side yard. We mow the weeds and call it grass. Much friendlier than asphalt.

We live in the country so we have a 1/2 acre of "lawn", 3 acres of "yard" and 4 acres of forest. The forest is reserved for the mountain bikes.

I may even venture out on our 300' asphalt driveway if I get brave.
