It's gotta be torture not to be able to ride that gorgeous machine. Maybe the snow will melt if we all concentrate really hard.

Is it working?

*sniff* No. *sobs*

I just keep reminding myself that it's a 2011 and it's still technically 2010, so I should wait, anyhow...but it's literally cold comfort. We're not supposed to see temps above freezing pretty much any time before the new year. By then I will likely have broken-down and stuck the poor guy on the trainer.

Maybe you'll get a quick thaw :fingerscrossed:

I keep thinking of kingfishers everytime I see that gorgeous photo!

I love orange bikes. The orange and white color combo is what drew me to my BMC. Enjoy your lovely new speed machine!

I already knew that eventually a more aggressive, carbon (for our rough chip-sealed roads that really take a lot of the pleasure out of rides) frame with SRAM would be in my future. I figured maybe in another year or two. And then I saw that bike when Cannondale updated the site with the 2011 models...and literally squealed out loud. Orange is my favorite color and it's equipped with SRAM Rival. It was a no-brainer. I showed it to DH and our shop guy and DH knew he had no way of saying no. Our shop guy even named it a good month before we actually placed the order.
