Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Today after saving up for 2 months I paid the balance on my new road bike and picked it up at my LBS. Was not planning on ridding today but when the wife and kids went away for the afternoon I donned my bibs I bought and hit the road.
I have been ridding for a long time, I commute everyday with my commuter bike, but this is the first time I ever wore the full lycra and was surprised by how things went.
The ride was over the GW bridge from NYC to the palisades park the road was hilly with almost no car traffic I rode for about an hour and a half.
The only complaint I can think of was the seat bag i bought seems to be of dubious quality. Great ride all around with nice weather.
