buying my first bike for a tri

Did you get your bike? I'd love to see a pic!

Do you have a local club(s)? Even in my relatively small town there are 2 bike clubs - 1 is purely a "social riding" club. If you can find a club like that, they will help you get out on the road. You won't be alone, and I bet there will be people in the club happy to mentor you as to the best way to ride through your specific intersections etc.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Hi, my bike should be ready either Saturday or Monday. They did the measurement thing and are doing the alignment. I have a group of girls that want to go biking this Sunday so hope I do have it. I think I should go with a group that have experience with the roads. I hesitate to do it by myself. Traffic is soooo bad here. I will look into a bike club. I think we have a Tri club here and I know we have a running club. Thanks for all your input, it is greatly appreciated!!
