Hope you are all enjoying the holiday! Pete and I took a spin this morning before work and thought we'd post a few pics of my new bike. For those of you who haven't met Ruby, here she is in all her beauty:


good form!


unlock those elbows!

cheeeese!


and this is me after my first week of riding: my poor bum!

i like my bike

Here is my new baby (thanks, Dan!). We call her Ruby. I have been looking at getting a road bike for about 8 years now and finally took the plunge. Pete took me on my first ride this morning and I almost biffed it when I got sucked in to a crack in the road (I forgot how skinny my tires are). Luckily my super-power balance skills came in handy.


And this is what happens when you ride clipless for the first time and lean the wrong way while stopping because you are stupid enough to forget which foot you unclipped.


I'm an idiot.

Don't worry.....Ruby's fine.
