If you have any advice I am happy to hear it.
Don't try to muscle the road bike ike a mountain bike using the upper body.

Relax, sit still and spin the legs. That's all.

I've seen mountain bikers new to road bikes flailing all over the place, rocking back and forth, exerting lots of energy attempting to get the bike to turn or climb. It isn't necessary. Just chill. Relax the upper body and spin to win.

Good luck. I hope you enjoy the ride.
