New bike

Today, I got to try out my new road bike. As an inaugural first run, I headed up to Yubari, where I'll be participating in an ultimate tournament next week. I figured I might ride my bike up if the weather is nice next weekend. Staying overnight with a barbeque party. So it should be fun. And it's definitely doable as a bike ride. Today, with no ultimate (but doing it as a round trip), I made it to Yubari in just under 2 hours. Round trip totals: about 96 km (appox. 60 miles) in just under 4 hours. And yeah, it's a lot easier to ride on roads with a road bike. Just as (dirt) mountain roads are easier with a mountain bike.
