Introducing...My Ride!

My companion is fully assembled and road ready!

My beautiful burnt orange Fairlight Faran 3.0 arrived from the UK on January 10th (after 5 months of waiting). https://fairlightcycles.com

Over the past month and a bit, I've been pulling together the pieces and parts to get ready for longer road rides. I think I'm there now.

A few spins around town and up the hills have been amazing. After riding a mountain bike for decades, this is a sweet ride. There's a lot of re-programming of my brain to switch gears and to be able to stop. I'm gradually getting used to it.

Zach at Drop Bar Cycle helped to assemble the bike for me. Big shout out to Zach for being so supportive and sharing great tips and helping me to make some valuable connections. https://seatoskybicycles.ca/

My bike has been fit by a professional bike fitter - Noa Deutsch. She has been instrumental in ensuring I've got the right bike for the trip - and it's fit perfectly to me - to minimize the potential for injury. I'm ever so grateful to have made this connection with Noa.

I wish I'd known that bike fitting was even a thing years ago!
