Kate,
I know the group will throw out ideas to you, but I'd also recommend going onto KSL.com to look for a bike. Be sure to find one that fits you and your height. Decide if you want to road bike or mountain bike and then look for the appropriate bike. We can help you with that. Mountain bikes are usually heavier and will drive you crazy when you are riding on the road. We are excited you are joining us and no worries, many of the ladies that have worked out with us over the past 2 years had never done a triathlon before and we'll help you with every detail! Ask all of the questions you can imagine and together all of us ladies will help you accomplish your goals!

p.s. hope you can make it on Monday...several of us have a couple of bikes so if you can't find one to use by Monday, than let us know your height and maybe we can find a bike so you can join us for the ride.

Hi there, I'm a newbie and have never done a triathlon. I don't even have a bike! I have no idea what type of bike I would like, I'm open to any suggestions, or if you know of anyone who is selling a bike that is in good condition please let me know!
