I bought a shiney new road bike a couple of weeks ago, I bought some new clipless pedals (see clipless virgin thread) and yesterday my new shoes turned up, I'm ready.
I've been riding to work since I got the bike which is only a couple of miles and I've done a short circuit of 6 miles a couple of times but now I've got bike, shoes, pedals etc. I thought it was time to consider a 'proper' ride.
Today I did 15 miles!! not far for a lot of people out there but a big step for me, it took me 35 minutes which I'm quite happy with, there were a selection of hills too, long but mellow and short but steep. I now officially have the bug, it didn't kill me and I think 20+ is going to be a lot easier than I thought. Bring on my next day off, 20+ here I come.
