took the new bike for a spin

took the new bike out last Sat May 10th for a quick (so i thought) spin around the neighborhood.

first impressions:
- ow! i'm gonna have to get used to this saddle!
- wow! this thing is fast!
- these brake-shifters are pretty cool
- using the drops can get pretty sketchy but useful when fighting the wind or on a fast descent
- pedal clips work pretty well with the shoes

i didn't have my new bike computer on yet but i was able to go down to the Beddington park area and down to Laycock Park and back. about 25km in all. i kinda lost track of time and got home later than expected. too much fun on the new bike i guess. ended up being late for a tee time (i hate rushing to a golf game! not good!). but well worth the ride.

here's the route:
