    I'm sooooo ready for a new bike

    I've got bike fever, probably because I'm on the rebound after selling my Terry and because it took me awhile to dial in my fit on my bike.

    Now I want a new one.

    But the selection is really limited around here. And when I start checking into bikes that LBS can order, it's either on backorder or it's unavailable. If I want a bigger selection of bike frames to chose from, I have to travel at least 200 miles.

    After doing some bike shopping yesterday, I can definitely say I don't fit WSD bikes. So I can cross several bikes off the list now.

    I feel emotionally spent today. I'm ready for some closure.

    There aren't many better reasons to drive 200 miles

    Look at it this way... if you can drive those 200 miles, what will it take...3 hours or so?

    For me to get the 65 miles or so to my nearest city, it takes 3 hours, what with our tourists, elderly population, 2 lane road, ferry wait, and ferry ride.

    So...200 miles...65 miles...if you can hop in a car and drive 200 miles pretty easily, go for it!

    If you were like me when I lived in Casper, WY, 200 hundred miles was a Saturday drive and the feel of the open road. I'd say, make a plan and check them out. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!
