I bought a bike today and went for my first ride. Only one word to describe it..............AWESOME! I decided on the Giant OCR 2. My butt hurts but I can't wait to start doing some heavy riding.

Congratulations, I bought my first in May of this year and have just rolled past my 4000km target for the year. I find the same thing with my saddle (Trek 1000) and it will probably be one of the things that I change at the beginning of next season.

A great feeling. Isn't it? I've been using my OCR 1 for less than a year. Getting my first road bike reminded me of something a friend of mine told me when he helped me set up my first stereo system.
He said, "No matter what I ever do in the future in the way of listening to music, nothing, absolutely nothing, will ever seem to sound as good as the sound of the first real stereo system."
I feel that way about my road bike too. There are many better bikes. Someday, I will likely own one a good deal better than the one I ride now. Yet, I don't think any future improvements will feel as good as that first road bike.
