January 2, 2008 I started my training. It seemed a bit of a daunting task at that point but, it is paying off. Ten pounds lighter, smoke free and proud owner of a new bicycle, I celebrated on Good Friday (March 21, 2008) by going for my first with devinci.

It was a bright sunny day, not too cold (-1 to +1C) perfect for riding. We completed a total of 26.8km, not a difficult or long ride by most cyclists standards however it was just right for our first outdoor ride. I’m pleased to say that devinci responded well.

Victor came along and provided some great advice that will serve to improve my cycling skills. He also took the picture above and some videos. It was a great day and I’m looking forward to the next ride, if it ever stops snowing…
