My first road bike

When I lived in Hawaii I had a sweet blue Cruiser named Edgar who got me to wherever I needed to be.  I loved the times we shared together going to the beach, to Food land to buy my Ben n Jerry's or for late night Chevron runs.

 I decided it was time  to recreate that magic here in New Zealand. Lucky for me my triathlete friend makes bikes for a living and could build me a super cool bike. The complete opposite of Edgar this bike is made for racing.

I really don't know a whole lot about my bike. I guess I should. But I am still learning everything I need to know. I will get there. Mr Triathlete keeps telling me about the seat, frame and gears. I just smile and say OK- I really have no idea.

I have been on a few rides to the airport since I have had my bike but today was perhaps my most favorite ride because.. I rode my bike to school! Below is a picture of me on the way to school feeling great to have the wind in my face and happy to be able to glide more quickly than I can run/plod.
