Went and picked up my shiny new defy 4 this afternoon and after spending the best part of an hour changing the pedals (56 minutes of that looking for a spanner) I went on my first ever ride on a road bike.

Did 20km in 58 mins. Average speed 20.3 km/h, top speed 48.3km/h (was on the drops but wasn't in the highest gear and then panicked that I couldn't change gear)

71m elevation, which is pretty flat I suppose.

Felt brilliant though, the best ride I've ever had, I turned the pedals on a hill and the bike moved!

Edit - anyone know how to change km/h to mp/h on strava?
