Got my bike friday and tried to ride on saturday, only rode like 10 miles, was good for familiarization with the bike, but the headwinds were gusting up to 25 mph which really sucked. Well today is an awesome day and i hooked up with a friend from work to go cycling and he took me to a closed trail and we did 20 miles at about 15mph average. Don't know if thats any good or not, but for my first real ride in almost 10 years didnt think it was bad. And i felt like i could have done more, hills killed me though, i can tell that i dont have a lot of miles under my belt :) Well just wanted to let everyone know!!!

I got a Specialized Allez Elite 27. I am pretty happy with it so far, my butt is a little sore but was better today than yesterday. Gonna have to get my derailer adjusted i think, cause my chain fell off while i was shifting.
