Today was wonderful. I started the day with a light breakfast of two bananas served banana soft serve style! Breakfast is normally big for me, but with yoga just an hour later I wanted to keep my belly light.
Then Katy, Ryan, Caitlin and I had an awesome 90-minute power yoga session at our favorite College Park Yoga.
Then we had lunch at Infusion Tea! Megan and Meghann met us for lunch.
I went with my favorite- tempeh chili with 1/2 a Milton Salad. Delicious!
After a quick stop at Costco with Katy for Larabars only to find out they don’t carry Larabars anymore, I came home to find my new bike delivered!
The puppies modeled so you could see how large the box was!
The bike was all wrapped up and packed in a box. I was so determined to try to put it together by myself… but there wasn’t a chance!
My part of the operation was unwrapping everything and laying it out. And for that I deserved a fruit pop.
Then I called in the big guns: David!
Turns out how I thought the pieces were supposed to go together were all wrong!!
It’s funny- I loved my old bike, but now my eyes are only for my new, shiny bike!
Bike #1 is a Specialized Vita. It’s a hybrid- a road bike body with straight handle bars. It’s a great bike for commuting with a smooth ride but more upright handlebars for easy maneuvering.
Bike #2 is a Specialized S-Works Tarmac. It’s 18 pounds and heavenly. It’s an all-out road bike so I can use it for my Ironman 70.3 in May. It was double my budget but I think it’ll be worth it :) I have to take it to a bike shop to have it properly fitted. I can’t wait to take it for a good ride!
I took Bike #1 out for a 25 mi. bike ride. Before I left I had a granola bar.
Tonight I’ve been sipping tea- with soy milk and raw sugar of course!
Do you ride a bike? What’s your dream bike?
