Hi Guys,

I picked up my new bike today and I'm very happy with it.

I have bought a 2020 Marin Muirwoods... attached is an actual photo, which doesn't really show much so here is a video link for more detail if anyone is interested

I had to walk 45 mins into town to pick it up, so I could ride it back. I've only ridden for about 30 mins and already a bit sore in the butt area, and my wrists were feeling it.

Does this subside as your body gets used to the ride, or am I in the market for some padded shorts? (48 yr old male here).

I definitely want to get a mirror as I don't like looking back over my shoulder. Lights and lock (I want) on order as out of stock.

This is the first time I've been on a bike in about 9 years and its a really great feeling. I certainly need to get my fitness up on the bike, although I think I am reasonably fit.

Here are some stats from my Garmin Fenix from my short ride, this was about 3km and 14 mins on the bike if anyone can give me feedback?

Average speed - 12km/h
Average moving speed - 15.5 km/h (what's the difference?)
Max speed - 23 km/h
Average HR 124 bpm
Max HR 140 bpm
Anerobic 0.8
Aerobic 2.4

My current V02 Max is 41, so not great

Cheers,
KD
