I bought a new bike and am so excited about riding it!  My old bike was a comfort/hybrid mountain bike and now I have an official road bike.  It was a bit intimidating at first, just riding it.  Now I can't want to ride my bike.  I feel like a kid! My friends have been trying to get me to join a bike race or to sign up for a sprint triathalon.  I haven't thought so far ahead yet.  Am just getting used to riding a bike for more than 10 miles at a time.  I do find alternating between sports activities, more challenging and fun than focusing on a single sport or activity.
