Introducing myself...

[DarcyInOregon]

Congrats on the bike. I'm sure you'll do fine! I started out in August of this year at 35 and had never ridden at all. Four months later I've done a 26 mile ride, lost 25 pounds, and already moved on from my first slightly heavy bike (Trek Pure) to a faster and lighter Trek FX 7.3 that I really love.

Wow, that is an amazing weight loss. Way to go! The wonderful aspect of cycling is how it makes a person fit and healthy while having fun.

Welcome to TE, Sarah! You will enjoy the company here.

And happy new bike to you. You are going to have a lot of fun with it. I will tell you that the thinner saddles are more comfortable so just ride it a while and see how it "fits."

Please post pictures when it comes in.

Hi Sara! Welcome!

The seat (at least for me) made 80% of the difference in my ride. Very important

Welcome Sara...like I told my daughter the other day, you have to "break-in" your rear end, lol. Eventually it will be fine.
