Rode out from the house, down into Santa Clara and around on Market street, then backtrack to Monroe and over to Bowers then across 101 onto Great America out to Alviso and then back on the San Tomas Aquino trail to Lafayette and home where I promptly fell over on the bike before I could get unclipped.
I have a few scratches and bruises from falling into the bushes and on the driveway but otherwise unscathed.
Before I went out on my ride, I took the bike back to the shop and had the handlebar stem replaced. The one on the bike was too long and I was having to reach and twist to shift or use my dropped brakes. The fit is much better. I practiced riding low while I was out.
