It's too rainy to ride today so I took the opportunity to snap some pics of my new bike. My first club ride w/the new bike was on Saturday, 60 miles w/plenty of climbing and she operated flawlessly (can't say as much for the operator, however) On the steepest section of the climb out of the valley we were in, I accidentally shifted to the big ring and had to walk a stretchIt takes time to get used to the shifting.
Anyhow, last night on a little solo adventure on my usual route, I averaged 16.3, which is at least a mile faster than my old bike, and it was raining for part of the ride. I see good things in my future, this bike is really something special and I love her!

Welcome to the Serotta family!
I'm sure you'll love your Fierte as much as I love my Ottrott.
I love your garage door!

Congratulations Colleen!
Wow, what a pretty bike! And you've earned her, mile by 2500 mile
Well done indeed.
