Hello ladies,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Starla and I've been lurking here for awhile now. I've been an avid spinner for the past 6 months and have had strong desires to take it outside. When I met my boyfriend about 3 months ago, I knew it was perfect since he is a manager of a LBS and an avid cyclist! He's pushed me (didn't take much effort) to get out and get a bike. So, here I am! I finally got my bike on Saturday, but haven't had a chance to really get it out on the road since it's been cool and I'm pretty much at work from daybreak to dust. The itch to get on it was just to strong tonight, so I rode it up and down my parking garage just to get a little taste of it....and I love it!!! My first ride will be Saturday, I don't care how cold it is, I'm riding!

So, here it is. It's a 09' Trek Madone 4.5 WSD. Excuse the poor picture (I'm ashamed since I'm a photog lover) but I couldn't get outside in the light to get proper pics. Also, excuse the clip covers, I kept them on until I ride a bit so I'm comfortable with clips.
