thank you all for your lovely feedback on my new baby-- I was going to wait to buy an upgrade, but sometimes things ARE just waiting for you, huh?

i did the american diabetes association ride yesterday (70m) - didn;t realize it would be my last ride ever on my C'dale Synapse which I traded in.. bit sad about that, seeing as that bike ignited my passion for cycling-- was tempted to hold onto it as a 2nd back-up bike-- but I know there is another woman out there who couldn't afford to buy a new bike who I know will love the bike too and it will enable her to really get into cycling- better than the bike living in my cycling cupboard as a 'spare' and it rarely seeing the light of day!!

and I got the night off work tonight, so I can go out and ride her in the morning :-)

thanks for sharing in my pleasure at my new bike!!
