Yippee! I BOUGHT my first roadbike!!!

[DrBee]

Well - I did it! I bought a bike today. A Pilot 2.1 WSD! I love it! I tried a bunch and did tons of testrides and felt at home on the Pilot. I realize now how important it is to do testrides. The different bikes felt sooo different from one another. And - they even had a little hill nearby. Eek - what's that?

I was shaking when I went into the LBS. The guy helped me - all day - right through lunch! He was so patient and full of good info. He was very candid -which was nice.

I brought it home and rode it around the neighborhood while hubby and the kids watched and cheered me on! My husband took it for a test spin and now wants one! It's amazing how much faster it is than the 7200FX! And soooooo much lighter! Geez those tires are skinny!

And Lise - I, of course, brought cadbury minieggs for a snack on the road

Now - I guess I have to name her. She's silver. I'll post a pic tomorrow or later tonight - need to get dinner going right now.

note - I also got in my zeal sunglasses today (for the 2nd try) - not sure on them yet. I tried on Tifosi's at the LBS - worked pretty well.

Wow - I own a roadbike! Pinch me.
