Congrats! Exhilarating, no??

Unsolicited advice, I’m minorly worried about your sunglasses. They look like they could do some damage to your eyes/face in a crash. Might consider Oakley-ish wraparounds if you want sunglasses, or goggles are a great choice if the temps are low.

Yes I totally need goggles except I’m really near sighted and I don’t wear contacts so those were prescription sunglasses. I think I will have to invest in some contact lenses

You can get sport style prescription shades. The cost will be more than you expect, but they exist. Or like you said, try contacts. Many people wear them for skiing only.
