Hello from the Garlic Capital, Gilroy, California

[Boat Racer]

Thank you for adding me to the group. I'm 70 years old and just bought my first eMTB yesterday which is a Specialized Turbo Levo Comp. So far, I'm still getting used to it with only two 11 mile rides on the local paved bike paths before I take it off road. I'm coming from an old Trek DS 8.5 Hybrid bike that I have ridden mostly on paved bike paths. I'm planning on spending some time on the Specialized thread on this forum in order to get some ideas for a more comfortable seat, handle grips to keep my hands from going numb after 5 miles and a rear view mirror. Cheers!

Welcome!

What helped my hands was a Salsa Rustler carbon handlebar and Ergon GP1 grips

Welcome Boat Racer, I used to drive thru Gilroy fairly regularly on my way to the Sierras from Berzerkeley...

Love the smell there, and now I'm craving some pasta.
