New Bike

So, as I said before, there are tons of things as far as gear is concerned that triathlon offers.  One of them is bicycles.  Most triathletes who are serious about it will eventually buy some sort of time trialing bike, but having never even gotten close to the podium, I thought I'd go for a bike that's a LOT more comfortable, and one that I can ride all day and not get tired of it.

So...I went and bought myself a sweet ride from Specialized.  It's a Ruby Expert with compact cranks (which I hope I will be able to pedal up some of my favorite mountain climbs around here).  It's pricey, but I think that with all the riding I will be doing on it and the gains I will get from it (i.e. a happier body), it's worth it.

Here's a picture of her from the Specialized website.  I haven't gotten her yet as she's being shipped from California.  Hopefully I will get her tomorrow or Saturday!
