Hi Bike Granny,
Just saw your post and it gave me a big smile! I have been riding a hybrid since 1988, went on a tour with Experience Plus, to the Italian Lakes, last year, and decided I needed to buy a road bike for my 70th, 2014. Just purchased a bike, going for a fitting next week, and am feeling a little terrified, LOL, about the whole thing, but am determined to know how to use clip less pedals, etc. for my next trip. This is the year with no trip, but lots of learning!
