Ordered my new bike!

[Yen]

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. We ordered two new Roubaix Expert Triples today -- one for me, and one for Mr. Yen. They should be at the shop by mid-week and ready next weekend.

Whooooohoooooo! The decision has been made. We feel that we're not just investing in new bikes, but also in a lot of fun that we'll enjoy together, as a couple. We plan to join a club or two, go on group rides of all sorts, meet other like-minded folks, improve our fitness, and have a great time doing it.

My next tough decision will be..... clipless or not? I'll adjust to the bike first (I'm moving from a hybrid), then decide later after we ride a few hundred miles and get the full computerized fitting. At that time, I can talk about clipless and they said I could learn on the trainer in the store. I already bought shoes that can be used clipless or not (Specialized Taho sport).

My hybrid.... bless its heart. I gave him a hug today and told him I still love him. He got me where I am now.. helped me overcome the initial fear of shifting, then traffic, and helped me lose the last 20 lbs since I bought it last March. He's been a GREAT bike. I think I'll name him "Woody". We'll keep him for short rides on trails, short commutes, and night riding.
