this weekend was an eye opener

[Scarlet]

well ....
this weekend was an eye opener
i have been looking at compact for a few weeks... get the pic?

went to a nearby town for a look at all the bikes on offer
My hubbie encouraged me

at the end of the afternoon he is driving the car and says
"go back to LBS and look at the bike you have been drooling over"
so i say
i cant because i feel bad if i dont buy it , i love it (been loads to look and ride it in the confines of the store lot )

he says ok we should go and just see it

(OMG )

I say but why not just buy a compact chain set for my bike
his reply was ( i kid you not he is not a bike boy!!) do you want a new bike or what!!
so meek and mild i enters LBS
look around for ages for "my bike" nowhere to be seen!!
ok ok calm down i tell myself

anyway ask assistant who tells me it is sold

****


ask manager WHO TO????

HE SAYS "GRINNING"

My parents did this same thing when I was 9 when they bought me a rabbit for my birthday. I had been fawning over a little bunny at the pet store. They got me to come along to run some errands with them by the pet store. We passed by the shop and there was a "sold" sign on the bunny's cage. I was awfully sad, but then we went in and my dad's name was on the sign as the person who bought it :D Of course, now I know you should definitely adopt rescued pets, but I give my parents credit :)

Congratulations on your new bike and your husband definitely earned points for this!

Pictures!!!!!!! Of bike and Hubby. After what he did, I need to see him...He probably has a Hallo on his head (angel).

[Scarlet]

Hi all

sorry no pics yet
just tried to upload from mobile (cell) but its new and the sim card thing is real tiny and my pc is not so up to date........ ooh maybe i need to get Geoff to buy me a new one........... now that would be pushing it.

I have been really busy out on the bike and its so good, already i can go up hills i previously would have stopped (for a breath catcher) once or twice,

will do some pics really soon

thanks x

Scarlet :D:D:D
still smiling!

[Tri Girl]

That's so great! What a great hubby! :)
Congrats on your new bike. I can't wait to see what she looks like.

[Scarlet]

Hi all had to get Geoff (DH) to show me how to do this
and his halo had definitely slipped (round his neck) after he had painstakingly showed me how!!!

apologies for the poor quality
