I got a new bike!! We thought I would have to wait to replace Fiona (my 2004 Fuji Finest), but today I was able to get a brand new bike.

I got a 2007 Cannondale Synapse. She is beautiful! I ended up going with a triple, the compact double probably would have worked but I wasn't sure. I was really torn between the Synapse and a 2006 Ruby, but the Synapse won.

Tomorrow she will be going on her maiden ride, a 52 mile hilly ride. No taking it easy for the first ride! Maybe she will tell me her name. I will try to find my USB cord for some pictures. If not, maybe the camera phone will take a decent shot.

I must admit when DH said "I guess it is time to put Fiona out to pasture." I got a little teary. The bike was heavy, horrible shifting and not a real smooth ride but she was my bike. She took me many places I never thought I would go, including 2 MS150 tours. Awww shucks, I am getting sappy again.
