Attention, Please!

Introducing......my new bike!!!!

Words can't even begin to describe how sweet this bike is. I have to send a huge thanks to Jeremy and Aaron at Velo City for building it up so quickly! I also have to send a huge thanks to all of my sponsors this year. I seriously have two of the coolest bikes in the galaxy! Sometimes I go down to the basement just to stare at my bikes.

I think I'm in love :-)

I picked the bike up on Monday night, and Scott was running out of the house before I even pulled into the driveway. Not because he was excited to see me, mind you. It was all about my Mamasita! He whisked it away into the basement, and spent the next couple of hours drooling on it.

I was able to finally test it out on the Tuesday night ride with the Farm Team. The group consisted of Dan J., Shawn D., and Chambers.

We rode gravel and paved roads and did 34.25 miles in 1:40. The guy's rode a few more miles of hills, but I haven't graduated to that loop yet, I guess. And last night that was fine by me as it gave me a few moments to breathe. I was by far the weakest link on the ride, and got shot off the back repeatedly, but that's OK. My motto for these rides is "what doesn't kill me will make me faster!"

But back to the most important part of this whole blog post...my new bike! Words can't even describe it's awesomeness. As of now, I'm leaving it set up with a rigid fork and cross tires for the Barry-Roubaix race, which is this coming Saturday. I've never ridden the course, but I've heard that it's basically a gravel and paved road race. I hope I don't see any trail in the woods during the race, because it would be very tempting to veer off course to see how the Mamasita handles real dirt!
