    Congratulations! There's nothing more exciting than a new bike. (I just got one myself yesterday)

    I'm lovin the bike

    My first ride last night was great fun! My commute this morning was a little work! I can tell a difference in the weight, steel vs. carbon! I was working harder because my heart rate was about 10 bpm faster most of the commute. And I do think my over all commute was slower. However, since I haven't gotten a computer put on yet, I'm not really sure on the speed. But I do have a feeling on the downhill this bike will fly. But the ride is really nice and smooth. Dare I say smoother than the carbon? Naw! Maybe it's just the wider tires.

    So far, so good on the Brooks saddle, girly bits a little sore, but not painfully sore. I can find that perfect place to sit but keep sliding off it. The plan is to ride this bike all month, except for an 80 mile organized ride this weekend, to break everything in. The fenders are really cool too. I rode through water in the roadway a couple of times and didn't get sprayed at all. I feel like such a Fred! Bottom line though . . . I'm lovin this bike!

    And I get to join not one but TWO cults! I've always wanted to do that! Does this mean I can get another tattoo? I'm going to bribe the daughter with dinner tonight or tomorrow night so I can get the pictures loaded. Maybe if I write all the steps down I can do it by myself next time. bikerHen

    Awesome to hear you are enjoying her so much
    And you have plans too, sounds like the 80 mile ride should be a great bonding experience between you and the new addition to the family

    Yes... def a tat...
    Looking forward to seeing the pix!
