I am looking at getting a road bike one of these days but today i borrowed our Coach's extra bike. It's an extra small diamondback and here's how it went.

I joined the group who split into diff groups. Another lady & i ended up on our own (she knew the way & was happy to go a bit slower-she's a bit older too)

I rode slowly on purpose as i had to get used to the brakes being in a diff position than on a mtn bike and the gears. (all i care about when on a different type of bike is knowing how to change the gears, position and braking@!!!!)
WOW did it ever feel great to be able to zoom(or something like it) up a hill and even be in the right position. I think i averaged about 25km/hr on the flats but i noticed the odometer going up to 30km/hr as well.

I just had to remember to not go over the bumps in the road!

The bike is now in the bike shop & will be serviced on monday. My LBSG will play with the bike fit then.

NOw all i have to do is stop my dear from telling me i'm a roadie...(most of the guys we bike with ride road bikes during the week & are mtn bikers...)

Have a funky one.
