Maiden ride - Fabulous!


My new bike - Trek 7.2 FX

Totally awesome, fabulous, terrific, amazing, extraordinary, remarkable, excellent, and outstanding!  That was my first ride on my new bike.  I felt like superwoman!

I still tracked my ride with My Tracks, but I also used my installed Schwinn bike computer.  They were pretty damn close in their stats.  My Tracks said I went 6.66 miled (yah me!) in 34:05 minutes.  My Schwinn bike computer said I went 6.593 miles in 33:56 minutes.  Extremely close and I believe the My Tracks stats also included my stopping point where I probably took a few manual steps while drinking water and talking to a gentleman I met at my turn-around point.

I went the whole way to Belmont Ridge Road!  That's the farthest west I have gone on the W&OD trail.  I seriously love this bike.  My riding gears were between 2-2 and 2-7, not bad at all.  IMHO.

Oh yeah and after I rode, I did the right thing.  I finally got a helmet.  I know, I wasn't being safe, blah, blah, blah.  I don't like hats or anything on my head (except a ponytail holder).  So we'll see how I do tomorrow when I ride with a helmet.
