some of you already heard this in the bikes forum, but I got a bike!

My father and his wife called me back in November with a budget and said, "whatever kind of bike you want in this price range, you pick it out and we buy."

I have my first real road bike. The TREK 1000 WSD.

It's pretty. The brushed aluminum with only some paint in white and light blue.

We also wandered around the bike shop and picked up some other stuff to go with it, like a new helmet, (pearly white to match )And a bright screamin' yellow PI windbreaker, so dumb cars don't run me over.

Boyfriend and I have yet to exchange gifts, so I don't know if there's more bike stuff on the way or not! (We wait until New Year's Day to do our gifts, because Christmas is so hectic with both of us coming from divorced families.)

Sounds like Santa was good to all of you - enjoy!

PS: my new bike needs a name. thinking of naming it gorgeous george. ha ha.
