The first ride on my new bike—Fuji Team Pro 2009. This is at around 10 miles in, just a random corner with a convenient street sign for leaning against.
I did almost 24 miles, and averaged 14.7. That average is kind of sad, but I haven’t been riding hardly at all over the winter. Now with the new bike I’ll have to break that habit and put on the serious miles again, and the average will go back up as will ride distance.
I’m really impressed by the ride quality of this bike compared with my previous one. This is way smoother. It’s a carbon frame instead of aluminum. All the components are higher quality as well so everything just works smoother, faster, better…like shifting and braking. I think I’m going to have lots of good rides on this bike. The saddle may be the only thing that I’ll think about swapping out and sticking with the one I’ve been using.
