    well... i contemplated pink grips... even thought about the pink chris king head set... and even the pink candy pedals... but decided to keep HER all grey and make ME pink, instead! lol!

    i did order the BG grips from specialized cuz i don't like the skinny ones that are on there... but they are black and grey!

    (before we bought them.... we "photoshopped" the light silver part into pink to see how THAT would look... since i was still in PINK bike frame of mind at that time..... fortunatley it didn't look good that way.... so i don't have the expense of painting my new bike!)

    Yeah for you!!! I am jealous! I have not heard a peep from Trek in the last few weeks. I think they are painting a lot of Christmas presents in the Project One shop.

    Me thinks I need to take some dirt chicks to Aliso Woods. Looks neat-o!

    Nice Bike

    I really like the current crop of Spesh full boingers.

    I looked at your pictures and saw something I haven't seen since I went to Spain in September Dusty Trails!. Jealous

    I've resigned myself to our usual winter of gritty mud (poor drivetrain) and slop

    thanx, everyone!

    i'm SO wanting to go ride it again this weekend.... but darned accident-prone hubby.... hurt his ribs at aliso woods so not sure he's gonna be up to riding this weekend... i'm SOOOOOOOOO hoping (unlike road riding where i'll get on the ruby and just GO.... the mtb is all in desolate areas and i'm really ascared of getting hurt or something.... so i'm not up to going on any of the trails alone!)

    karen... i LOVE the pink PI jacket... it's the perfect shade.. and the grey... well... i love pink and grey together... and since my bike's grey... it ties it in! lol!

    if i was independently wealthy i'd have gotten a pink helmet, too... so that when i'm wearing pink... i would have on a pink helmet! but alas... my practical side took over... cuz i do have red... and blue... and brown color clothes.... and it would have irked me to wear a pink helmet with those (especiall with the red! lol!)

    i'm so ocp... even on the mtb!!!!!!

    oh ya.... our bikes wer SOOOOOO dusty after each of the rides... at aliso... a worker in a truck asked to go ahead of us and joked he was going to leave us "in his dust".... literally! heck... even the other bike riders kicked up a cloud of dust!

    i think i prefer dust to mud though.... i'm still kinda prissy!!!!! (but it was fun seeing all the dust on my clothes! felt.... free-ing!)

    Caligirl, you and your bike look gorgeous! and twin bikes - very cute

    One of the guys at work is in the process of buying a new mountain bike (serious one, $4000) and i asked what colour it was... he said "charcoal" so i told him that's fine it will allow you to change your accessories, eg you can spice it up by wearing pink dont think he understood at all

    Caligirl,

    Congrats on your new bike it looks like you had a great time breaking her in, and I think you are right pink accessories are the way to go.

    My DH and I got MTN bikes this summer and have been to JTNP a few times to ride, how was Queen Valley Rd? Was there lots of deep sand? Any info on MTN bikes rides in your area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
