That's wonderful -- it's always satisfying to hear someone with a newfound passion for cycling!

What Scott bike do you have that you like so much, climbergirl?

I'm impressed! I seem to be stuck at a 15-16 mph pace. You give me hope.

The 2011 Scott Contessa Speedster 15.

I must have test ridden about 20 bikes. The Scott just felt right. The fit was nearly perfect out of the box (yes, I got a fitting after buying it), and it just moves with me and handles like a dream.

I'm now the world's biggest proponent of test riding until something just feels really good.

Duh -- I could have seen the bike model in your sig --oops! Glad you found a bike you love so much!

[TigerMom]

Super happy for you and I hope to get there some day!

Yay! Thank YOU for sharing your joy.

Your ride sounds wonderful, days like that are what makes riding so joyful! You must feel a great sense of accomplishment, I'm so glad you shared that so we could all applaude a fellow gal rider.

That is a mighty fast downhill speed.

That is very awesome! I'm stucked in the 13mph range but I started 2 months ago so I have a long way to go ahead of me Great achievement!!

BTW, I have been using RunKeeper/Wahoo/Strava to gather mileage and other statistics. IMO they aren't as accurate as a bike computer. My numbers were way off and I was able to prove it when for the first time today I rode with a bike computer.
