This morning after church, I got the tri bike out on the road for the first time. I had pulled the pedals off the road bike yesterday for the fitting since the new ones haven't come in yet, and I have not yet bought a bottle cage or tri bottle for the bike, but I really expected to only be on the bike for about an hour or so. I wanted to test the fit, and run through the gear-shifting for a bit. We didn't mess with the gearing yesterday, so that part was still an unknown.
So off I went. The fit feels pretty good, and I am happy that the guys at the bike shop explained everything, but I did all the work. Always good to learn as much as you can about your equipment. But the derailleur and gear-shifting needs some adjustment. Looks like I will be going back to Bobby.
Ended up being on the bike about an hour and a half. I will say that I can really feel a lot of difference between the ride on the tri and that of the road bike. The ride itself felt good, although there is a bit of noticeable difference between tri shorts and bike shorts.
Looking forward to longer rides on this bike. Maybe Christmas weekend if it doesn't get too awfully cold or wet.
