New Bike!!!
And here she is.
What a beauty! Of course, she needs pedals with cleats, aerobars and a million other things, but oh my, isn't she pretty???
I've even had the bike fit done. A guy at work is sponsored and used to race, so knows his stuff. He did my bike fit, put the saddle on, changed the stem and gave me lots of good advice. Now I get to take her for a spin!
I'll go out the back of the airport, where there are numerous cyclists and the roads are relatively quiet - just until I get used to the gearing. I reckon that will be sorted in under an hour. Then it's off for some more serious long rides. This is awesome, I'm so happy that this is sorted as it was the last piece of the puzzle for this short tri on December 13.
I am so going to enjoy this bike. I had a great ten speed when I was a kid and used to ride every day. Then some punk real estate agent reversed out of a driveway without looking and took me out! I got a bit freaked after that and didn't ride for ages. Then I started playing sport in a big way and just ran out of time.
Fast forward nearly 20 years and I'm back on my bike. I'm still apprehensive when out for a ride but I just need to harden up and get on with it!
