I picked a name for my bike...

[IGGY]

yup! But I haven't admitted it to ANYONE until now.

Esperanza! No idea why. But I like it. You have to say it loudly with authority! large swinging hand gestures are good too!

I'm a pale skinned mutt of ethnicity ranging from english, scotch, french, irish, and welsh. I YEARN to be exotic. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with pink and sweaty. But, my bike can be swift and dance the salsa, even if I can't!

My husband is going to literally fall over when he reads this.

Am I gonna regret this post?

I like it! I never thought about naming my new bike until recently and after reading some of these threads. I think it's a great idea and now have to find the perfect name for mine.

I named my Hybrid a couple of months ago--it's called "That'll do". Like in the movie "Babe."

My bike is Mad Dawg Madone! Mad Dawg is my second road bike since we started riding Memorial Day weekend. I now ride a Trek Madone 5.1...I didn't bond with her right away like I had my first road bike, which was named right away, but as soon as I named her...we're bonded! I can't wait until I'm ready to really hit the hills and ride her like a Mad Dawg!

We're doing the Solvang Prelude 50-mile on November 1st and I'm hoping to tear up those hills! Then on to the Solvang Century in March!!!!

Name it and claim it!!!!

Ooooh....Solvang Prelude...something for BF and I to do!

I'm excited about the prelude...I am terribly out of shape and working on that, have quite a bit of weight to lose after several years of weight-gain due to health problems, medications, and depression from being so ill...last year at this time I was looking at a heart and lung transplant, couldn't walk across the room without huffing...this year I'm riding and training for the Century in March!

I'm taking control of my health! Mad Dawg's my health partner!

P.S.

Our bikes are brothers and sisters! I saw your pics, same bike! Love the pink tape...I think my hubby needs to add that to Mad Dawg!

Awesome JT! Sounds like you are well on your way to recovery! I like that you are considering your bike your health partner! I feel that way with Spirit too (I am recovering my heart health as well). I wish you all the best in your training for your ride and with your new bike - go for it!!!!!
