Boys Toys: My New Ride

Woohoo... here's my new ride. Got this bike for a dime off one of the triathlete I was looking after.

I once had a conversation with this girl on bikes. She was never a 'rider' and would not understand why her boyfriend would need so many bikes. After getting on a racer herself, she was able to answer her own question. One is for city riding, if it gets stolen you dun really give a damn. The other is for riding off-road when the suspension makes the ride more comfortable. And the last one is for when you wanna go really really fast. I must say that she's a true roady 'convert' now as she's taking part in her first OD triathlon next month and Half Iron later on in the year.



After riding for months on the mountain bike and forever lagging behind. I'm finding myself closing the gap to the front of the pack now. Its a breeze to ride. With long stretches of open road and hardly any traffic or traffice lights, its the perfect backdrop for a roadbike.

About 50-52cm, not sure but feels ok. OSIM?!? I'm bloody slow man. Cadence average 80-90 only. Speed <30km/hr. I need a trainer. Not sure when the next big comp is around but we just had a sprint distance recently.
