The New Bike

Two things were blatantly clear after the last Triathlon

1. I was going to do more
2. I needed a new bike

So, I saved and scrimped, researched and waited. I think I was starting to freak out the employees at Fort Street Cycle because I finally found the bike I wanted, and I repeatedly came in to look at it.

Finally the stars aligned; I had enough money saved and the bike was on sale. So, I purchased my first Road Bike since I was twelve - the Trek 2100. We are not talking about a $5000.00 Cervelo here, but it is a great entry level bike for a guy like me. It is not like I could exploit the value of a $5000.00 bike anyway.

So, I haven't been riding as much as I like over the last few months, but I did get out twice this week. In fact, I went out his morning and did some hill training around Rockland. I am also thinking about going out to Elk lake on Sunday morning to watch the Half Iron - a good 22k each way.

I love my bike.
