My New Ride...

Wow...here it is; my new bike.  The picture you see isn't the exact one, but one I found on line.  This is the bike the T-Mobile team rode in the Tour de France.  The exact bike.  I have to give a huge thanks to my dad...who sold it to me and gave me a better deal than any year-end sale would've.  It's way more bike than I ever thought I'd have..all carbon-fiber, all Dura Ace components and all-cool.

I won't put this on the Iron Man expense list, I'd have bought it whether I was doing the race or not.  I may re-stripe it...not that I don't love pink, I mean magenta (sorry Dad), but a nice yellow may be cool.  Dearest father has also volunteered to be our follow car on the 112 mile  bike course in Madison.  Jodee and I quickly accepted that offer as well.  Somehow I'm thinking this will make the 112 miles go by a little faster than on my Bianchi.

Hmmm...now comes the training, I guess.

Peace.
