Now, I've seen some posts in other topics that lead me to believe there are some new bikes out there. Come on grrls... what did you name the baby?

You aren't the only one catching up!

I call my Specialized Allez Sport "The Envelope" because that is what it feels like riding. I went from my "Chunky Monkey" Nishiki (does that brand even exist anymore?) mountain bike to the road bike. The transition is much the same as when I went from quarter horses and barrel racing to Arabians and endurance racing. (Like going from riding a butane tank to a fish!) There is just no comparision between mountain biking desert fields to road biking. Road biking scared me so much I put about 30 miles on The Envelope when I bought it last year and closeted it until I got braver. Now I am a speed demon roadie addict. Never thought I'd see the day.......

Oh, BTW, The Envelope is all black as was my little Arabian, Koltar. Coincidence? Karma? Who knows why things happen the way they do.

See if this works...It's not a very close picture of the Mondonico, I'll get a closer one but the bike in the foreground with the "1740" sticker on it is "the menace".

Two gals in the background are from Velogirls bike club on day 2 of the AIDS ride

My origonal bike was a freebie, steel frame trek 500 that was too long and sooooo painful on long rides I began refering to it as the iron maiden, after the medival torture devise. My new lemond also a steel frame fits great but is so heavy It also seems to have inherited the name but this time with a smile becuse I love it so.

The Bianchi is Marco.
The Aegis is Adara - means " Noble" in Hebrew
and the mountain bike is Baxter.

I've chosen "Epesi" which is Swahili for "swift".

Here she is:

... and I'm jealous. I did find out from our esteemed administrator that, at this time, you can only upload images from a website.

So, why am I jealous? Because Ms Adventure Girl is obviously such a techie that she has a website. And that's why I'm jealous.

paint me green with envy...

OF COURSE I name my bicycles. Doesn't everyone?

All my bikes are/have been/will be blue and have names that begin with W. Yes, this makes my life difficult, but ask me if I care.

My current ride is Walter, a vintage Raleigh. (Yes, I do mean the historical referance) He's hard on the hands, though, and I'm having a hard time with rides over about 10 miles.

I'm getting my next bike out of layaway ater this month. He's William, and a 'bent. (There's an historical reference here, too, but it's pretty obscure)

William of Orange?

I am now able to present Epesi, my new ride:




And for my next trick, follow me to Saddles for a look at my butt saving Koobi
