Isn't it beautiful!!
And I got gloves! I couldn't get a pink bike in a very small adult's size... I wonder why that is?? But they did have pink gloves for very small hands... BTW I prefer to use the term dainty myself, so at least I have some nice cheerful pink!
I even got a trip computer, because I think it is really important to know my speed and distance... I hope it shows calories burned because I am finding that to be a significant motivator!!
And I got a drink bottle holder. It was like Christmas! So exciting!!
And more importantly, the people at Bike Force were awesome! No stories about how even girls can ride bikes, and how you don't have to be tall to be a good rider like our local specialist bike shop. Good grief!!
I took Hugh's bike in to get fixed so he can start riding with me. It turns out that leaving the bike outside in the rain may not have been the best thing for it! Who knew right?? I just hope he can keep up!!
What I did not get, and hope I never, ever, ever reach a place where this product seems like a really good idea is...
I mean really!! And look, it comes in king size tubs as we as handy single sachets.. how convenient... I guess. Goodness me!
Now, given how little I know about cycling (you may not have noticed)... I have a very important question to ask my wonderful friends.. Do you name your bike, like a yacht, or is that totally uncool and daggy??
I have absolutely no idea.
Josie and I are having our second joint training ride on Sunday, so now I can ride my shiny new bike! How exciting. I hope this time she doesn't lie to me about the hills!! I am sure there were three where she told me it was the last one! Thanks Josie!! No really, it was really helpful in keeping me motivated! I am not bitter.
And to celebrate starting our joint training we plan to drink Champagne after our ride while the boys make dinner and the kids play. Mmmmm, so the big question is Bollinger or Verve. Must give that some serious thought... Sunday is going to be a great day!
