My new ride...
Jan 20^th, 2008, 4:16pm

I couldn't let Bud get a new bike and not get one myself!

7 speeds, probably 50-60 pounds, and 2" deeply knobbed tires. I went for 20-25 minutes around my neighborhood today and probably went all of a mile. My back, chest, shoulders, biceps, and triceps are wiped out. I couldn't move out of the easiest gear unless I was going at a good clip and flat ground. Woefully slow, but hopefully it'll keep me from losing much more of my aerobic system Thanks Paul for hooking me up with your friend.

I'm in it to Schwinn it.

I definately can't hang with her. Not unless you guys want to loan me some slicks and a couple chainrings

. I was embarrassed to be unable to change gears and still spin the handles. But We'll see where I'm at next weekend~!

I can't tell you how much i admire her after trying to ride one frigging mile today.....

So what you are really saying is that you will have the bike "dialed in" for the next 200K brevet...or not?!
