Pictures soon- hopefully will take some tomorrow. I'm also picking up my sweet new helmet from the bike shop- they didn't have the one I wanted in the size that I wanted in the right color, so they're getting it from another location. I currently only have a pretty basic sport helmet, which is fine, but the road helmet looks better and in the long-run will be better for long rides, etc. Plus, the old one is blue and my new bike is white and purple. I know that you don't have to be all matchy-matchy, especially with clothes, but I feel like the helmet at least should go well with the bike to create a nice flowThe new helmet is white and silver.

Your LBS should have copies of Spokes newspaper, they list rides and most bike shops have group rides as well.

Here are some pics of my new bike! I feel as though I need to name her- taking suggestions...
I tried taking a closer picture of the sweet fork, but I couldn't get it small enough to upload. Alas.

Ooohhhhh... pretty bike!
What about... the White Stallion? Or Snow White? Or...???
Yea, uuuummm, I suck at naming bikes.
Anyhoo, she's a beautiful bike!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

So, so pretty!
I probably shouldn't advise on bike names. Mine are named Myrtle and Lulu.
