well this morning I did a first ride into work to see how long it would take etc... took me 35 mins riding time, and averaged 28.4 km/h was pretty happy with that, considering it was my first ride :) in many years ;)

The ride home sucked! lol, I took it easy, as i have to ride into work in the morning... but it was hot and into a headwind.... dropped my overall average km/h down to 22.3... but i did go a different way and it consisted of more hills :)

LoL... perhaps dunger cheapo motorcylcle cost.... RRP was 2195, got it for 1750.... plus a few hundred on gear ie... shoes.... spandex.... wireless cycling computer... lights... helmet etc..

Well i rode into work this morning.... leaving home @ 0540.... took 35 mins @ 29.4 km/h average... which i thought was not too bad after doing the ride yesterday.... my legs were a bit stiff for the first 5 km or so... but then loosened up nicely :)

I took the soft option and got my mrs to pick me up in the cage.... I'd rather ride in the mornings... to get used to it a bit more... prob get a pick up tomorrow arvo then do the both ways on saturday :) My body and legs feel ok... it is just my ass man.... it hurts! lol (*** awaits the smart ass responses....)

Mate, spandex.. :shock:

The shoes and pedals are a must.. And i do agree a quality pushie is the go.. Mine was about $1500 if i remember rightly..

I notice you have the slant frame, did they recommend that for your height.. :?

Giant is a great brand... Me, i have a Trek... :D

And no i will not be riding up to come riding with you.. :lol:

Is that the CFR-1 or CFR-Zero????? nice either way.
It is far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if chequered with failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, as they live in grey twilight that knows no victory nor defeat.
