Sounds like you made a good decision, my wife and I just started and we had similar budget constraints, we ended up spending $400 on each of our bikes, but then another several hundred on accessories and such. As far as the soreness it goes away after a few rides, I do suggest padded bike shorts, these are worth their weight ingold.
