new bike!
So, after my long run on Saturday (and a big lunch and a small nap), I picked up my new bike.
Ain't she a beaut?
I originally asked for silver color, then the bike shop guy called and said they were back ordered on silver, so I said blue was ok, and thought that's what I was getting. But they had the silver after all.
I hadn't noticed that the silver included a pink stripe. So I guess my bike is a girl. Or a gay man. I think may may name her "Trixie", because that is the name of Speed Racer's girlfriend. The bike looks fast. Husband is a little like Speed.
Husband and I went out Sunday, and did about 25 miles. He made some minor adjustments to the seat and pedals on the way -- it's like having my own personal bike genius.
We took Montauk Highway out to a place on the bay called Lazy Point. I like the name. Legs were stiff at first, but it was lovely when we really got going.
Very pleased with my new toy.
