I rode a short 10mi yesterday on some country roads and it was a bumpy ride! I got a little scared. Perhaps I shouldn't have bought such a $$ bike so soon? My new "roadie" mirror (I have one on my trek 1000) kept moving around when I hit bumps.

I think the reason it felt so much bumpier is my tires and tire pressure. I also need a plusher seat. I do hope I'll love long rides. It definitely was faster (thanks to those tires at 100psi). I think I was riding my trek 1000 on 80-90psi.

I kinda wigged out last night. I got scared that maybe I should have test-rode carbon again.

When I test rode this, it was on a paved bike path.

I'm still sick and super busy with kids and work - no opportunity to REALLY ride yet.
