New Bike!

SWEET! enjoy that wonderful new bike

So I took her out this morning and rode around 45k before work. The sun was out and the harbour was flat. It was a beautiful ride! After work I flew back up the two big hills to home. This is definitely love.

Crazycanuck: I'm doing a 115k race in Martinborough, about an hour out of Wellington, but my 'A' race is the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge in November.

Jo-n-NY: I was going to keep my other bike for that very purpose - wet weather and the wind trainer, but seeing as I spent quite a bit more than I'd planned, I just don't know. I'll put her up for sale on Trademe (the NZ version of Ebay) and see what happens. I may still end up buying a cheap commuter bike anyway. This bike is soooo sleek it sort of freaks me out to use her for my usual everyday riding!

The desk next to mine at work isn't being used at the moment so I kept the new bike next to me rather than put her in the cycle locker with all the other bikes. A guy from another team came over to talk to my manager but pretty much ended up drooling all over my bike instead. I just smiled! She sure is sexy.

Oh, and when another workmate walks into the office with a huge black eye and cut up face and proceeds to tell me about hitting something in the road and waking up with people over him calling an ambulance, I probably shouldn't pass that story on to my husband. He's threatening to never let me out on the road again!

Beautiful bike.

Looks a lot like my Commuter, except he is gold and black. Giants are good bikes!

And sorry to hear about your coworker and hubby, Pip. This is why I don't tell my friends or parents about MOST of my escapades. I had to tell them about my last fall because it was all over facebook lol, but I scare them! They are always worried about cars and I say I worry more about idiotic people than stupid drivers!

Wow, she's a beauty. You must be thrilled! Happy riding.
