    Surprised on my birthday!!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I ordered a Cannondale Synapse Alloy 6 with the expectation it would be here by my birthday today. Well LBS told me when I arrived they were unable to order my bike but it would be here in January... So they upgraded me! At first I'm thinking Alloy 5... But oh no, they upgraded me to a CAAD10 5!!! I thought he was joking!! No joke! Got to bring her home tonight and cannot wait for my first ride!!

    It's humid and you sweat a lot Loved having my bike with me when visiting my folks - roads are great and people seemed to be pretty friendly towards cyclists (well, at least out where my folks live) - but boy that humidity brings you down. +1 for west Texas.

    Also - Congrats on the new bike!

    Don't forget the pics
