I have a new bike....

[Maureen Valley]

Hi, everyone. My bike is in. I went to Minnesota a few weeks ago and selected a bike from my brother's shop. (Mike's Bikes, Northfield, Mn.) and now have under my tree a brand new 2007 Trek Pilot 2.1 WSD. Wow...I've never had a bike like this and just took it out for a test spin today.....adding a whopping 5 MPH to my overall speed which up til now was hovering around 10 MPH on my Trek Hybrid. I felt like I was on a starship...effortless peddling and aerodynamically right on the mark. I'm still getting used to the 30 gears so will reserve the mastering of the clipless pedals for another time. Perhaps next week. For the time being....I'm getting used to dropped handlebars....super skinny tires....and the overall feel of this wonderful machine.

Anyway....I've read your various posts on your new bikes....and can now share in the excitement of knowing what it's like to have a brand new, shiny, state of the art bike of my very own. I feel like a little kid.

Happy Holidays to all:

Maureen, that is WONDERFUL! I share in your joy over the feeling of that perfect machine under you, clicking and purring in it's glittering newness.

Oh, thank you Lisa. You said it far more eloquently than I....

...clicking and purring.

Pure poetry.
