Until now...
When it's finally time!! I'm getting a new bike!! Yippeee!!!!
My com padres at Top Gear (the best bike shop in the world, no the universe) and I have been working on getting things together for more than a month now.. a month that has been killing me!! Welcome Trek Speed Concept!!
Finally, we did my second fitting, and it seems like it is actually going to work, so I'm excited to share the news!
Of course, the problem is I have unusually long femurs. So, naturally I had to ask today (while in my work dress, with bike shorts underneath - don't worry Mom - those are NOT my underware) "Does this bike make my femurs look long??" Garvin, my good friend and mechanic was not amused!! He is having a heck of a time with it!! I blame my parents. What the heck, I didn't have anything to do with it!
Now.. for the naming process. Much like a child, I just can't think of naming him/her until we get out and spend a little time together. I need to know the personality here. However, I am open to suggestion - so, other than the Green Speed Machine.. any other thoughts?? That's too long anyway.
As you can see.. my brand spankin new Adermo Betty Designs saddle has been carefully crafted and placed on my bike - Thanks Kristen - your designs are amazing and I love them!! I have to say, coming from basically my lazy boy seat that weighed about ten pounds, this is going to take some getting used to.. aka.. my junk better toughen up.. fast.

It's so cute I just have to use it though, so until then I'll just have to suffer! Garvin wouldn't even let my old seat get near this bike! He said no way!
Needless to say, I'm excited. It's going to take some getting used to, as it's different, but I'm hoping to ride it for Eagleman 70.3 in about three weeks. We'll see how fast I can make the transition. If I can't then it will be on for Placid.
Hope everyone is having a great week - help me name this bike!
