New to road biking but just got my first bike!

[ColoKate]

Since moving to flat Denver from hilly Seattle two years ago, I have been looking for something a lot lighter and speedier than my mountain bike or cruiser. After much shopping around and anxiety, last night I bought an immaculate, barely touched/ridden 2006 Scott Contessa Speedster with carbon fork, seatpost and Shimano 105 components from CL. Just $400 and I absolutely love it! Couldn't sleep at all thinking about getting off work today and taking it for a longer spin. And of course, now I'm at work...just daydreaming about getting off work LOL! Already have a helmet and gloves and luckily the pedals are double-sided so I can get used to the bike before taking on clipless. My husband has a trainer so I'm hoping that helps me when I get to that point. Also I have an appt to get it fitted to me in a few weeks, though it's rideable for now. I noticed a little bit of toe overlap when I was going VERY slowly so hopefully it can be slightly adjusted?

Anyway I have been browsing these forums for the last month or two gathering info and enthusiasm from everyone here, so thanks!
