shopping

Spinning this morning. Rode there for a 2 mile contribution.

I considered coming home and riding down for a calzone, to pad my stats. But decided I should make dinner as planned. I did, however, stop at BikeAmerica on the way home. They have a cool sizing machine that told me I needed a 50 cm bike, more or less, and it also has the other measurements ... seat height, distance between handlebars and seat, etc.

I test-rode a Trek 1200 (a 2006 model) that was a little big for me and a Trek Pilot (WSD) that actually was sold already. Unfortunately, they didn't have a Trek 1000 or 1600 in the WSD line. Those are very popular apparently and they can't keep them in.

It will take some time to get used to a road bike. It's different.

Oh man, if you get a new fancy pants bike I will have no hope against you in the tri. Unless you take an hour to swim....
