I only had about an hour so I went out on nearby roads that I had ridden before on the hybrid. What a difference. Much smoother ride, except, of course, when you ride over anything. Then, not so smooth. Used just about every gear on the machine. Hills were tough, but I could get past them. One hill slayed me -- just couldn't get up the short 15% incline (I'm guessing). Tried twice, then walked it up 30 yds or so. I'll keep trying.
I noticed that drivers can be oblivious to bikers. They just don't pay attention. Almost got hit by a woman in my own hood. She made a left turn into my lane of traffic and I don't think she ever saw me. (Believe me, I'm still pretty hard to miss!)
Pretty much residential suburbia, but I'm sure I'll find more scenic terrain. My Garmin tracking is below. (Mike, thanks for the posting hint.)
I think I'll head out again tonight!
Hey, jobrotha, where are we riding this weekend?
L'Chaim!

Sweet ride! Can you take that thing over any jumps? lol
Seriously, nice bike - I'm looking forward to the day that I get a new one.
Keep up the good work - we'll have you doing a triathlon before long.
I have heavy jealousy raging through me right now. Nice bike, Nice ride, Nice everything. Makes me want to go biking real bad.
