We need to see the pics of all this new stuff.  I was just dream shopping online at R&A drooling over zipps and random bikes.  Nothing like a teacher work day when you're done with all your work.



I live less than a mile from R&A! Dream shopping is the best.
Very cool about R&A!


It's a fun place to go, though they are known as having the worst service in NYC so they scare a lot of people. They helped me out with a saddle once last year and were decent to me so I thought about getting my new bike there but I got such a better deal online so I went for it. It's hard to support the LBS when you get massive internet discounts!

After my fitting I'm taking the new roadie for a spin. Too bad I'm not in the 600 challenge
Yeah definitely don't ramp up too quickly. Too bad that R&A is known for bad service. My lbs is great that way.


I just went to R&A and once again they were really cool and helped me immediately. They must have wised up and fixed the bad service. They were even training some new staff people while I was browsing the clothing. It makes me feel bad about not buying my bike there but even the guy who helped me said they just can't compete with the online only places price-wise and I got such a good deal.

I rode my new bike for the first time, I think I am going to really love it!

tasr - 2010-04-09 9:58 AM OK so as far as I can figure out the 600 mile challengers are;
 
Dream Chaser
PennState
coredump
Monty
JoshKaptur
tasr
lesleyann
Lunchbox 
 
First person to 600 miles gets a Gold Star and a Smiley Face Sticker.  All that make it to 600 miles in the month of April are winners.
 
Did I miss anybody?  DC you take it from here. 

Smart Asss.  You and Freddy both   But seriously, even if you take on this Challenge and you end up at 450 or 500 miles, you're a winner cause you probably will end up biking a lot more in the month of April if not for this Challenge.   

And unlike Fred, who didn't listen to the rules, Post your Mileage Monday morning/afternoon.  :p

Then add me too. I think I can get to 500, I'm going to have to change things around for my travel but it might be doable! And Jenn is supposed to be on the list too

Ummmmmmmmm no DC, you only win if you get 600 miles. 599.9 equals FAIL!

I someone goes 599.9 and stops, then they are not mentally well.

I FINALLY was on my bike for over four hours.  In tri shorts.  My new Terry shorts came just after the ride, d'oh!!  Looking forward to longer (and more comfortable) rides!

Plus...yesterday I got in over 5,000 yds of swimming. Can't we have a swim challenge for us cycling-phobes?

j/k...but it would boost my self-esteem. =p

None for me either, I went hiking instead. Did 10.4 miles in the Catskills and loved every minute of it! I will bike tomorrow.

Not the best pic (blackberry) but here she is! This is my first real road bike so it is all new to me. I'm taking it on the first longish ride tomorrow, can't wait.

I finally got back outside on the bike yesterday and had zero foot pain.  I picked the wrong route to ride because of all the traffic  and red lights, but I climbed some hills, did some sprints, stood up a bit and the foot held up.  A few more weeks and I'll get to try that running thing I've heard so much about.

I'm in as well. It's going to be really hard for me with a business trip but I've thought of some creative solutions. I figure if I don't make it, I'll at least get really close and have a solid bike month!

I'm off for a ride now, it's still a little chilly but looks to be warming up! Have a great training day everyone. And good luck to PennState's Tracie!
