For years, I'd wanted to try a road bike. The problem? They're expensive. I waited and waited, and finally, in May of 2020, like so many others during the pandemic, I bought a new bicycle.

The time just felt right. My back was hurting from running and I wanted to make the switch. I wanted to stop being a runner and start being a cyclist. I got lucky and found an entry-level Trek Domane AL 3 at a local bike shop, despite the shortage. Off I went.
