Bought my first road bike!

I'm jealous as always. I went and looked it up - very nice.

Congrats on the new bike. Enjoy!

Thank you everyone! I will post some pictures when I get the chance to take some pictures. It definitely needs some adjustments or I need to adjust myself to get used to the positioning. My shoulders and neck are rather tense and sore afterwards. I keep reminding myself to relax, but I can't when things hurt. My shoulders and neck hurt midway through the ride. I think I may take to a place here for a professional fitting. But other than that, it's fun to ride.

Oh hey, another Michigander. Congrats on your new bike!

And definitely get a bike fit - I'll be going back for one too since problems tend to crop up only after you've been on the bike for a bit.

Caddy I'm not too far from you. I'm closer to Detroit, but only about 20-25 minutes to A2.

Depending on exactly where you are, you might be interested in the Downriver Cycling Club (http://www.lmb.org/dcc/).

I hope you enjoy your new road bike like I do mine. Did a 40 mile ride yesterday with three other DCC women.

I'm not far from the downriver area. I'm in Redford. I used to live in the downriver area. I'd love to join a group, but I'm way too slow right now to keep up with a group. The most miles I've done so far is 25. I bike around Hines Park. I'll definitely have to check out that group one of these days.
