Ever the artist.Kurt Godel wrote: »Great setting for the photo too. Best of luck with her!
I had been reading the images of beauty thread, and knew youd complain if it wasnt in a nice setting. 
Got out for 20k on her this morning. So far, so good. The saddle will take some bedding in, but the sram double tap is actually better than shimano two lever system, imo. Front end is very responsive, and she is light as a feather. I'm liking my new bird.0 -

"Bird", ha, I swear the Goose Girl by William Leech came to mind when I saw your photo:) Any names for the bike? How about "Leech"?;)

This is a G2. Prefer your colour scheme

Speed work this morning. Not my best effort, but this was more of a mental than physical exercise, overcoming nausea*, tiredness and a very sore leg. Twas one of those days where it seems like youve never run before in your life. You run like a toddler. But got through it. 6.2k in 33 mins, doing 1 min on, 1 off.
*My digestive system hates me, dreaming up ever more ingenious ways to torture me. The latest is 'non-pregnant-morning-sickness'.

Hey chickie-momma....in case The Bird would like to see the states in January, here's an interesting looking event. I'd really, really, really like to do at least a HIM in 2014, and this event keeps popping in my mind. Probably won't do it...unless I can find me a partner in crime. I think The Bird would like The Mad One.

Dunno if I've got the funds to go to florida, but a HIM in january would be gas. What other crimes could we commit?
January is pretty good timing for me for a lot of reasons...so...we can look at other options if you're game. I only ask that it be a place reasonably warm, and the bike be reasonably flat since I suffer miserably on it. Don't count florida out totally perhaps...airlines sometimes practically give the tickets away that time of year, and if you can get your patootie here to the states, I'll take care of the rest. 0 -

I'm really taken with the idea. I'll look into it. Never been across the pond.January is pretty good timing for me for a lot of reasons...so...we can look at other options if you're game.

What???? :eek::eek::eek: You've never been to the states?? Well, I've never been to Key West, but Florida in January is really nice. Mild, yet sunny and gorgeous. Think about it....could be a blast. Oh, and the race would be fun too. 0 -

You're a clever girl. Asking me when I have the money for my bike burning a hole in my pocket. 0 -

First long spin on the Bird today. Of course it was raining, so she got properly christened. It is a very comfortable bike to ride, and I finished this ride feeling pretty fresh. Not sure on speed, this seemed pretty slow but I can't gauge exactly as I stopped for tea. I think I just need to get used to riding it aggressively, the drops are lower and it still feels a bit strange for now.
100k in god knows how long, with 1355m of climbing.0
