Off for the first ever ride on my brand, spanking new bike

in a few minutes time.

Why do I get the nasty feeling I'm going to crash and break it?

Good luck!

Take it easy on the first ride, just to get used to things - go on a familiar route and enjoy yourself.

What did you get?

Enjoy; don't break a leg.

Pneumonia probably.

What have you bought Chris?

 

[Panter]

Well, stayed on

It's a Giant TCR Advanced 4 and my first ever Summer bike, bestest bike, whatever you want to call it B)
Did a quick 29 miles on it and I'm as chuffed as little monkeys with it! I expected it to be a little twitchy and harsh compared to the SCR 3.0, but it's far smoother, far more comfy and a hell of a lot faster

Good choice!!

I'd call it bestest bike, if you call it summer bike it'll never go out

I bet you've spent 2 hours wiping it clean today

Good call

No, I haven't cleaned it yet, only just got back. It's sitting in the front room awaiting sterilization tomorrow evening
