My husband bought a bike!

I got a call at work from my husband today. He bought a road bike! I have wanted him to ride with me for the last year and he has totally not been interested. So, I backed off and I rode. Now he has decided it is something he could be enjoying with me. He got a Cannondale, which is what I almost bought last year but they couldn't get the frame I needed. I'm so glad I schemed and had him drive me to the LBS last week, so I could pick up my bike after her tune up and ride home. He rode the bike he bought and apparently has been obsessing about someone else buying it for two days. :)

How could I not want to spend more time with my wonderful wife. I speed skate but I decided to join the in crowd and get a bike. It's a cannondale R6 and I am very excited to pick it up.

Welcome, and congratulations!!

Cute dog, cute husband, Amy!

(Is that a Border Terrier? Always wanted one.)

It's cool that you can now do something new and fun together!

Connie Carpenter Phinney is both a speed skater and a cyclist, so you have an excellent example to follow.

Gold for both.

Why thank you! Ginger is a 1-year-old terrier we rescued from the pound, and she's probably a bit of a mix. She doesn't have the wire hair of a border terrier, it's silky but short. She is a handful! She's full of energy, only listens when she wants to, but sooo cute. We also have two boys- an 11-year-old chihuahua (Jerry) and a 6-year-old black lab mix (Baxter). We are quite a crew.

And, yes, I think joshr is a cutie, too!

Josh- don't think we're going to be censoring the girl talk when you ride with us!! Congrats on the bike. You're going to LOVE it.

Yeah, I told him that I'm still going to ride with you for girl talk. He'll have to find his own Sunday morning ride. :)

Oh be afraid!!! This is how it started in my house. I rode, my hubby thought it was boring.
Jump ahead 3 years. He has moved from a low end road bike to a specialized Roubai to the very sexy Orbea Orca and all the gear. Now he rides to work at least 3 times a week and does 3 or 4 centuries a year and rides with a bunch of guys from work. Now I'm to slow for him :D.

Yeah, that is actually what I am afraid of!! He's already picking out his next two bikes!! But I have to admit I like that I'm not the only addict in the house! :):)
