First Post

I decided to start this blog today. Well, actually, the idea came to me last night, was consolodated this afternoon and acted upon just now.
The purpose of this blog is to blabber about my new, and first, road bicycle and all our adventures as they happen.
I say 'road bicycle' because it has drop-handlebars, thin tyres and is designed for riding on the road. However, it is actually a Giant Defy 3, which is classed as a sports/ training bicycle. I did not know the difference until my recent pre-purchase research so, if this means nothing to you, you will not be punished. Who knows, I might even be bothered to explain it at some point.
Anyway, I am losing my blogging virginity with this post and it really is just a whim at the moment so could fade away at any time. In fact, this is most likely my last post ever.
