This is my first bike as I'm new to cycling. its the trek madone 5.2 with ultegra. After purchase I upgraded to a fizik saddle new hoods, fizik bar tape, spacers and new cable housing to give it a little more color. I have been riding for a little over 9 weeks now. have logged over 2000k miles and ride with fast group rides 5 days a week that include cat 1,2,3.

cycling is by far the most enjoyable thing i have ever done. as a ex distance runner with pr's of 14:58 for 5k 5000m. this is so much fun. I look to be racing early next year once i build up a massive amount of base mileage and hill and intreval workouts. I am currently looking for a good racing wheelset to purchase for racing road races as im not into the crit thing as much.( i want to do the longer races and not something that seems like a 30 minute sprint)

9 weeks in and I am riding at a 21-28 pace for 65 miles and not getting dropped finally.
