2 weeks ago tomorrow I tweeted Salsa about the ETA for my new El Mariachi 3 and they said "should be within the next 2 weeks." No sign of it. I am goin' nuts with anticipation. Not sure if "within 2 weeks" was their expected ship date or my LBS's expected receipt date. Gahhhhh....

I think they played this game a bit with limewave last year and she eventually gave up on the Salsa she'd been eyeballing and got her Trek, instead. I can be patient, since I'm not eyeballing any specific races until next year. I had thought about buying a friend's entry for a race next month, but I'm really not ready for it at this point. My longest ever ride on a mountain bike is 18 miles (granted, that was on my too-small dog of a mtb that requires far more effort than it should) and I think the race is 28 or so.

I'm really dying to put in some real miles on my new baby before weather goes all to crap, though.
