Excellent - enjoy the ride, and then come back and tell us all about it ...

Other than a bit of chain noise, first ride was excellent. Only did 3 miles on local roads, but tried to get familiar with the gears and brakes. Have now adjusted the front derailuer to eliminate a slight chain tap and adjusted the rear brake, which was a bit too softly softly for my liking. Going to test in a bit. Please to report that the drop bar posture feels very natural, which is something I was worried about.

Now considering doing the 16 mile jaunt to Uni today, but reports of wind/rain in the evening are putting me off, just in case anything goes wrong

Although I didn't start from zero, my story runs along the same thread. If you had told me 3 years ago what I was going to do in 2012, I would have laughed heartily, and walked away shaking my head.

And I presume that this is the case for a large chunk of the people on here too.

Inspirational, truly inspirational.

As a newbie to road cycling I would like to think I will be in the same frame of mind a couple of years down the line.
Thanks for posting.

Brilliant post dude.

I'm currently in the process of getting my first bike and am feeling exactly like how you were when you started.

Hopefully this will inspire me to not give up and make sure I give it a good go!

A year and a half ago I used to think cyclists in the rain were out of their mind.
If you'd have told me I would soon be an all weather commuter I'd have said "Me? No way!"
