Hey GW, welcome aboard. That is a good looking ride you picked up. Nice price as well. I think you will find this a good group to connect with.
When you get tired of riding the pavement, pick up a Mountain Bike. I think its more of a full body workout and helps burn the weight into muscle faster. Plus its easier to dodge snakes and coyotes than semis and teens texting.
