1st Ride

[Chris Swift]

So my first ride on my road bike triban 5 was amazing...really easy to ride compared with a mountain bike. After 10mins or riding I was on country roads nobody around and finally figured out how to use the gears. I only did 10 miles as that's all time allowed me to do. I wanted to ride more. I did drink a full 750 ml of water over the duration of my ride.
I'm addicted carnt wait to get out on Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday now ( if weather allows).

I've uploaded a pic of my bike too.

Nice one Chris and a wee beer to celebrate

Ahhh I wondered when the john smiths would get spotted... Yes only the 1 beer to celebrate.

Hi chris i think more than one beer in these cases is the law

Absolutely. I think you're supposed to get twelve beers in a case.

Nice bike.
Have you decided to ride every other day? or is there some reason that you can't ride Mon, Weds & Fri? Maybe a case of work getting in the way of having fun, as it seems to do.

There bloody good bikes for the money them.

Well done on the first ride hope you enjoy many more.

After doing 30miles today which was really enjoyable I'm now sinking a few largers.

Thanks mate, erm I'm on holiday this week so started this week really but I work and have to be home within 30-40 mins from finishing work to allow the misses to go to work so I look after our 19month old boy, so for time being it's only weekends and holidays ( school holidays) I can get out.

Went for a 30mile ride today was awsome!
