First Long Ride on the new Bike

I rode up to pound ridge on the Bike today, it was about 40 miles round trip. Wow, fantastic bike for touring. took it easy and was able to pedal up the hills without a ton of effort.  Only strange thing was getting to the gear shifters on the bar ends. Very old school but with thirty gears i think thats all they could do. By the end it worked out just fine.

Rewarding myself with Haagen Dazs Lemon and Mango sorbet (see below, delicious)

                                                 And me after the ride and a warm shower.
