I have been trying to ride

For my 40th birthday I really wanted a new bike. I had the Klein since 1990. That is a long time...3 rear derailleurs, broken frame twice and rode over a hundred miles. I really skipped years at a time without significant mile. I told Teresa everything I could to get a new bike:

1. I would lose weight

2. I would stop looking at bikes on the Internet

3. I would ride the 3 state 3 mountain challenge

4. If I had a new bike I could ride up our mountain.



Well I did get a new bike and it is the bike of my dreams. We also got a great deal from Jensonusa in California. I got a 2007 Bianchi 928 with SRAM Rival. Full Carbon. Awesome.



I received the bike in March and have stopped looking at bikes and did the 3 State. I have logged about 200 miles this spring including up our mountain 3 times. I did the challenge in thunder storms. I have had a tough time getting on the bike with rain and child care. I have enjoyed it when I have been on it. I am heading up to Iowa June 7-8th to do a 200+ mile ride with Ken. I am in big trouble. I am going on a group ride today 35miles and am riding Saturday and Sunday next week. I need to get on it!!!!

I am back

I quit doing the blog and I don't know why. I have plenty of material. So I will get it back on this week.
