Yes, I finally got a tri bike.  Got the fit done today and rode around Redondo Beach for a while afterwards.  It's only my first day and it will take a bit of getting used to but I think I am gonna like it!!  It's a much different ride over my road bike.  And, you know it's FAST!!!  This also happens to be my first ride on the street in 9 months.  I was cleared to do it last week, but I wanted to wait until this bike was ready, I think it was worth it.  Now I have to buy some wheels!

Some will say FAST, some will say SLOW, I say, "Is the engine tuned up properly?"

Yep, went to Lloyd but apparently he forgot about the appointment.  Robert just happenned to be there ( he wasn't supposed to be) and he ended up doing it for me.  I'm glad he did because I really wanted to get on this thing.  They need to work on their sched a bit.  Wish I had known you were riding...although I'm not sure I ready for the PV hills just yet!  So....gettin' a new Litespeed?

She's purty!

I have a red bike because red bikes are faster (and it was in my price range). Her name is Dulicinea after the fiery redhead in Man of La Mancha. I call her Dulcy. Even though I've had her since February I didn't get to ride her much until May and she's taken me on more miles since May than all of 2005!
