I bought a Specialized Diverge last year as my first road/gravel cycling bike - I don't come from a biking background whatsoever but after running a marathon and wanted to put a tri of some sort in the calendar. I took a shot and bought it in a size 58 based off of my height and it seems to be pretty comfortable, I didn't have any real aches or pains beyond just generally being not super familiar/adjusted with the riding position. Ended up going about 11 miles and felt good. Today I installed the Rib Cage II I bought from Specialized but it seems pretty tight with the bottle inserted, I almost can't imagine pulling out the water bottle when riding. Anyway, super fun being back on a bike. Going to try to go back out this weekend weather permitting (North of Boston) I am hesitant to get clipless pedals at this point but I guess I should pretty much just do it if I even want to do a sprint tri? Any recommendations? I have seen there are some hybrid ones that are flat one side and have clipless thing on the other side. Any other suggestions?

Hadlock posted:When I was going on a 2+ hour ride the first thing I'd do was ride to 7-11 buy and chug a standard 8oz red bull. That was usually enough carbs to keep me going. I might have eaten a cliff bar 30 min before heading out too. Always had plenty of energy. This was back when I was only 150 lbs I don’t think Red Bull has gluten. They say it’s gluten free. I’ve never heard of any of the major energy/non energy drinks or supplements containing any gluten.
