Congratulations, Nicole! Once you've got the new bike tricked out, I guess I'll need to grow some balls (figuratively speaking, of course) and join you someday on the roads over around Brookeville/Damascus.

You could always tell your DP that if she really cares for you she'd be happy that you're so happy... Wait, I tried that line once myself and it didn't work at all. Never mind. Good luck convincing her that it was a worthwhile investment!
