Well I was going to title this with something about it being my 50th post and I still have nothing worthwhile to contribute, but I have something much cooler! I won the commuter-ready bike at the Bike to Work party today!
Now I have no excuse for not riding to work once a week and the panniers will make it possible to do store trips as well. I think the actual bike I won is too big for me. I can ride it but I don't really have the clearance that I should have (ouchie!) and I can't really get the seat low enough with the under-seat bag attached. So I will take it in to the Trek Store and see what they can do.
A fun afternoon of free Boulevard ( http://www.blvdbeer.com/ ) and hanging out with other cyclists. We had a nice 12 mile round trip ride down to the Brewery in perfect weather.
I wish I had more to contribute than 44 miles but at least it did include a lengthy round-trip work commute.
Now ... the road bike? What, we don't all need FOUR bikes? They each have different purpose: mountain, road, commute and around town fun ....

wow - thats amazing! that is really exciting. you didn't even say what kind of trek it was though. i am jealous . . .
It is a Trek FX 7.2. Very similar in feel to the Trek I have now.
But fully pimped out with the bags, rack, lights, fenders, etc. They even stocked it up with an extra tube and some bike tools.
Strangely enough, it does not have a computer which I think I will add. And I'll probably go clipless.
So awesome!!! Yeah Mary!! How did you get it home since you rode there??
