The next step

This weekend I want to go bike shopping. I want a bike now. I am seriously considering doing this event in Mattoon Beach IL on April 30th. MIGHT be too close to the marathon but if I take a week off and then bike/run for a few weeks, I think I could do it. Don't you?

I have NO IDEA what kind of bike to get. I've not bought a bike since I was 12 and I probably just got the one I thought looked the coolest and I'm pretty sure it came from Walmart. I will probably buy used but I plan to go to the bike shop to talk to them and see what they recomend for someone like me. No sense spending an arm and a leg for a bike that sits in the basement like the other bike we purchased this year. Maybe if I get a bike, Evan will use his more.
