Welcome mimi123, 
Welcome to this wonderful and addictive sport. Soon you won't want to get off the bike so soon, you'll be so hooked on the sport that you are going to feel miserable if you don't bike for one single day.

Nice ride!
Now get out there and ride. It's really easy to get caught up in the entire parts talk and constant upgrading quest, but if you're out there and riding and have the brain capacity to think about upgrading a part then you're not working hard enough!

I remember my first ride, same thoughts. I also remember when a friend ask if he can go along on a ride with his mountain bike. I just laughed while shaking my head and said no. He said "why you laughing". Because I'll make 2 turns and you will never see me again, that's why. Now he just bought a new carbon Motobecane full ultegra. I have to say they are pretty nice for the money(solid). Here comes the shill remarks.

Woo Hoo!
Ride safe.
My wife hated the pastel colours too. In the end she bought a LeMond Reno.

If I could have any paint scheme I would have one either exactly like the one above (with the blue, red, and white) or I'd replace all the pastel blue parts on my bike with that regular blue and all the white parts with red...or I'd keep them white. It's just a thought, I doubt I change it anytime soon (meaning I doubt I change it ever). I just wish that they didn't assume women who rode would be pleased by..."girly" colors. I want a bold bike, dammit!
In any case, welcome to the club!
