Thanks for all the great advice

Just wanted to take a quick minute and thank everybody for all the wonderful advice available to someone who is still very new to this sport. One of the best things I have learned is the importance of a proper fit on the bike. I have had mine for a couple of months and went last Thursday for a full fit and have been truly amazed at the difference in comfort. I have ridden fifty miles (road and trainer) since the fit and have experienced no discomfort. I look forward to a lot more time here as I still have so much to learn.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.
