[font=Garamond]Hello everyone,[/font]
[font=Garamond]I’m new to this forum and I’m also new to road cycling. My name is Ashleigh and I’m 15 years old. I’ve been MTBing for as long as I can remember and I'v been cycling at my gym 4-5 times a week for the past 8 months and I really enjoy it and love it.[/font]
[font=Garamond]I want to start road cycling and I was wondering what any of your opinions are for which would be the best suited first bike for me. I’m a girl (obviously...[font=Wingdings]😉[/font]), I’m 5’5”, and I’m evenly proportioned, by that I mean I don’t have a larger torso and I don’t have longer arms or legs.[/font]
[font=Garamond]I’ve been talking to the cycling class instructors at my gym and they have been telling me a little about cycling and what they do, etc. but not much, so I guess that's why I'm here...lol...:p

[font=Garamond]I’m thinking about joining a cycling club in a few months, but right now I just want to get a bike and get a better feel for road cycling. I’ll be going to the bike shop in a few days to get measured, get a bike, and get anything else I need to ride.[/font]
[font=Garamond]So, I just wanted to introduce myself and get some of your opinions![/font]
[font=Garamond]Also, if any of you could fill me in on more about cycling, etc. I’d really appreciate! Oh, also when you are a cyclist do you get like a personal trainer or?...I’m just curious.[/font]
[font=Garamond]Thanks in advanced and I can’t wait to start posting more on the forum! I’ve been reading a lot of the other posts, etc. and it seems that everyone is very informative and nice. TTFN![/font]
