Ok...so today was the first day I took my bike out on the road. I rode for an hour and did the Sierra Madre loop. It was difficult on the back side. I am still unsure of what gear I should be in to make things easier and harder....still figuring that out. The GOOD thing is....I didn't fall. YEAAAAY! I clipped in and out without falling. I got honked at ONCE (a-hole!) cuz I was having trouble clipping back in after a stop light. But I made it. I am not having trouble clipping OUT when approaching a stop sign/light...but clipping back IN is seeming to be a bit tricky. I am just happy I didn't fall :)
