Completed my first ride

[Johnym]

Nice bike and congrats on your first outings!

I am also a fairly new cyclist (started last July/August) and have recently upgraded to a Giant Defy 2. Lovely bike, though I think I do need to tweak to set up a bit as I am feeling a bit too stretched out (i.e. need a shorter stem). I haven't managed to get out on the bike as much as I would of liked to this winter, however I plan to start cycling more come March time in prep for an event such as London to Brighton.

Thanks. How are you finding the giant, I'm not sure how my bike should be setup at the moment, just riding it how I feel comfy. My plan is to do the great north ride later this year, seahouses to tynemouth, should be a nice ride down the east coast. Would be interested to here from anyone that's done it before

Loving the Giant, just needs a bit of tweaking to get the fit right I think.

Yesterday I took my new Cube Peleton Race out for its first ride aswell as mine too. I manged 24.3 miles and thoroughly enjoyed it despite the high winds.

The bike was a dream to ride, being a newbie I don't know how it compares to others.

I'm now confident to commute to work at least twice a week now which is a 30 mile round trip.

First impressions I can see me catching the cycling bug big time :-)

Well done Johnym - I am so jealous.
This is the bike I wanted and came within an inch of signing up for on CTW.
Great looking bike with full 105 train and ultegra rear mech, Easton wheels, inner cabling - AND - it looks the bogs dollocks as well!.
Maybe one day eh.
