I'm about as new as they come!

Hi there!

Sent here by a fellow blogger, and I am ready to learn the ways of cycling. My name is Lisa, and I am an avid marathoner, (completed 4), and I think I'm ready to expand my horizons and include cycling in my game.

I hope to learn all about tri/road bikes and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Lisa

Welcome to the forums. Congrats on the 4 marathons. My knees do not like running, (so I NEVER run) but they seem to do okay with bikes.
