Well I'm a newbie too, only riding my road bike a week. I had a mountain bike before that but didn't really ride it that much only the odd weekend. I've been on my road bike every evening this week and am loving it.
I got into road biking because my husband a road bike fanatic (he's been biking for 20 years) kept telling me I was built for road bikingAny women I've seen who road bikes alot seem to be built like toothpicks. I would classify myself more of a overweight Lana Turner if you catch my point...but if my hubby see's a toothpick then it's a pity more people didn't have eyesight like him
. I eventually gave in and let him buy me a Giant OCR 3 road bike (oh the hardship..tee, hee). Now our goal is to compete in the World Masters games which are on in Edmonton (Canada) next year. He wants to win, I just want to finish
Biking Chick - Thanks for setting up this thread it's great idea.
Skibum - All I can say is WOW!! and if you see Lance..steal his bike..I want it
JanT - let me know what bike or bikes you've narrowed down your search to. I did alot of research before I bought my road bike so maybe I could help.
