It is with joy in my heart and more debt on the plastic that I announce to the world - I got a road bike!!!
My other bike is a mountain bike/cruiser… I added road tires to help increase the speed just a touch. My Cruiser has taken me through 5 sprint-distance triathlons - since I got bit by the tri bug 7 years ago. My big ‘ol cruiser holds a special place in my heart… *kiss, kiss*
However, it is time to move on. To slim down. To get legit. I am planning on biking further, and to haul my cruiser 24+ miles at a time - is just… medieval! I am way too “retro” for “medieval”! It took a little financial creativity, but I worked it out…
Here is my new carbon-vision of all loveliness:
Isn’t she just lovely??? I snuggle her frame, sing her a lullaby, kiss her gear shifters, and air up her adorable skinny little tires before I tucked her into bed at night. *SWOON*
I rode her 20 miles on Saturday and 12 miles this morning. I cut 7.5 minutes of my 12 mile route - all because of this new beauty in my life. I Luh. Her. So. Mauch.
But I would like some input. I have a few names I’ve been tumbling about, but I said to myself, I said, “Jenny, I bet your hot online friends would love to have a say in naming the new love of your life.” Then I said back to myself, “Yeah, Kerry! You’re right! As. Always.”
So here I am - presenting a few options. I was going to try out a poll program from Vizu, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Instead of getting all-fancy, let’s just go “old school” - comments!
Here are your choices in alphabetical order:
- Buffy the Asphalt Slayer
- Butter (because everything is better with butter!)
- Mz. Thang
- Speedy Speederson
- _____?????_____ (if there’s something cooler and edgier - I am open!!!)
