Newbie in Essex

[jennyb]

Hi I'm Jen from Essex. Have been spinning for a year now and finally given in and joined my hubby on a few proper bike rides and, surprisingly, enjoyed it. Looking to buy my first road bike as my 15 year old daughter is fed up with me borrowing hers and lowering the saddle each time (oh the humiliation!) I've been looking at the Triban 3 but from this forum it looks as though I am going to have to be quick as they appear to be downgrading the new model.

Hi Jen and welcome aboard and glad you enjoyed the cycling, good luck with your new bike selection.
Ernie.

Jen!
Your daughter is right: get you own bike ... or two!

If you've been going to spin classes for a year you'll be great of the road!

Thanks for the messages guys. Going to pick up new bike tomorrow - snow has gone - have thick gloves - so hope to hit the road this weekend.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy many miles on your new bike and don't "hit" the road too often, it hurts!
