Your first road bike is a Learning Bike.
What have you learned about the bike and yourself?
What have I learned?
- That weight and aerodynamics are everything.
- Proper pre ride, during ride, and post ride nutrition is key to better and longer rides.
- Clipless pedals win.
- Do not skimp on riding apparel.
- Bibs win.
- Cyclists that average 26mph+, are gnarly. I average 20-22mph on flat road... But it's getting better.
