And how much do I love my bike?

Let me count the ways:

1. It's black. Black as night. I like my bikes like I like my...er....uhm...nevermind.
2. It weighs less than my dog. Our dog weighs 22 pounds. My bike weighs about 16. I can lift it over my head with one hand.
3. I literally feel like I'm running when I'm pedaling. It sounds weird, but it's true.
4. I got some really great shoes to go with it. Sidi if you are interested.
5. It's is all DA hardware. Rockin!!!
6. The wheels are ultegra, which I'm not entirely enthused about, but still pretty cool.
7. I am going to try and get professionally fit this weekend. I'm visiting VA as my dad is having surgery on Friday. I have a 40 miler planned and then a fitting (hopefully) the day after his surgery.
8. My first real ride was last Sunday. I got burnt to a crisp as the sun was really out and I didn't wear any sunscreen. It was totally worth it :)
9. I am so obsessed with it, that I haven't removed it from my Element in the event I can go for a ride whenever the mood strikes.
10. I love it!!!!

Tmw is 5 mile run and Sat. 40 mile bike.

Woot!
