I rode about 7 or 8 miles, half on the Greenway half on city streets, first time out with new gearing(thanks, mechanics forum!) and the bike was brilliant. I know now that it fits me, something I wasn't sure of before. I have been doing 6-10 miles three or four times a week since I got the bike in August. Now I will start increasing the distance; I guess I will be taking that bridge to the bigger island next-door in lieu of a real climb because I've gotta train. I signed up to do a century next summer, first since 1974!
Sense of humor or not, thanks for the photos qmsdc15. And everyone.
