Sweet! Congrats on your new bike. I like your strategy of calling the husband and giving him a chance to stop you from buying something. I think I will have to try that one!
I also have a Trek road bike and I absolutely love it. However I will warn you about those Bontrager saddles. They are notoriously uncomfortable. Mine worked for me for about the first 300 or 400 miles, but once I started doing longer rides it simply had to go. Of course everyone is different, so it may work for you. But if you start to feel like you're being squished in the wrong places, there are better saddles out there that will allow you to ride in comfort.
Have fun on your new ride!

The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

The 1000 had the same saddle as my 4500 mtn bike, so I was already planning on changing it out! I have a couple of Terry saddles that I got for my birthday, and I've put one on the mtn bike, and I love it. I put the other on the 1000 and I didn't like it as much, but that could be about the new riding position. I'm going to swap them and see what works. I can't remember which saddles they are, but I know at least one is a Butterfly.
Yes, the Bontrager saddle is hideous.
