I am officially in love with this bike!

Thank you everyone for your compliments!!! I took her down to Sacramento this afternoon and did about 30 miles on the bike trail. She is FAST!!! I don't have a computer for her yet, but the friend I was riding with stopped to rest at mile 20 while I went on and did another 10. He said it took me 30 minutes. That's at least 2-3 mph faster that I would've been on my old bike. Woo hoo!

I think the fit must be really good because nothing out of the ordinary was hurting today. So I'm really happy about that. The only real problem so far is that my left thigh rubs the brake cable. Since the frame is shaped and not round, the cable goes around a wide part and sticks out farther than on my old bike. My thighs are big, but it doesn't seem like it should be hitting so bad. It's going to rub a hole in my skin! Or my tights. Losing weight would be the better solution, but I'll see what my LBS can do about it.

And...no flats today! It was one of those bleeping goathead thorns. Man, those things are so nasty. How rude of one of them to jump up and puncture my tube yesterday. Makes me hate them that much more!

Name is still pending...maybe Blanca? Or Bianca? But that's too close to Bianchi. I don't know...maybe just Bike
