New to bikes in Colorado
Hi Everyone,
My name is Bret and I live in Aurora, CO outside of Denver. I've been running marathons for a few years, and I recently made the cross over to biking with hopes to do duathlons, long bike rides, and maybe some tri's. I've been biking to work for a few months on a Trek mountain bike. About 9 days ago, I bought a Orbea road bike, Onix T105, with training wheels
. Today, I did my first 21 mile bike ride from my house to Cherry Creek State Park and back. It basically took me about 90 minutes. It was a beautiful day for a bike ride. On Saturday, I'm doing a 2hr ride. I may even do a short duathlon on 12 June. I like to jump right in and get into the mix. Hopefully, I don't kill myself.

Welcome to Bike Forums, Bret! How do you like riding the Orbea as compared to the Trek? I bet it makes your commute quite a bit faster.
