My first bike! woot!
So I finally got my road bike.. after weeks of reading, searching, and researching, I finally settled on (and located) a Cannondale Supersix Carbon in team colors. I got it yesterday and meeked out a 10 mile ride on my first day. It was pretty hot out, so that limited me a little bit... Today my butt is sore!!! man is it sore... i hope it doesn't take long for me to get used to it

Nice bike.
And good thinking of taking the pic while the bar tape was still white.

Great bike. Make sure you have some good bike shorts and the soreness will get better.

Wow those team colors are the bomb, that's a heck of a first bike. My first road bike was a Cannondale. Happy bike day!

Congratulations! Nice bike. Just make sure you wear good riding shorts and remember that seats are highly individual and changeable...
