The training continues
I had a nice run on Thursday! I was actualy sore on Friday and still a little today. I did a little over 5 1/2 miles but I was working pretty hard. I can't remember the last time I worked that hard.
Yesterday I continued the bike quest. I went to Big Shark, turns out the owner is from the QC. Fancy that. He asked me if knew some random names, what like I know everyone there? Didn't help me much with a discount though. The bike I wanted to try was not assemb led in my size so I had to have them build it and they will call me when it's done. Felt F90 the best thing about this bike is the Carbon Fork. I'm beginning to think I must have this. I went to the Trek store and again, loved the guys there. They put me on practicly every bike there and then I took one out to the parking lot where I feel over and scrapped it up pretty bad. The good news is that I may not have to decide which bike to buy, I may have to buy this one! Evan says we are not buying a bike that I scrapped up out of principal. They should not have let me ride it if they were not prepared for me to fall and scratch it. I told him I was nervouse to use clipless pedals, he should have listened and not pressured me into trying it. Of course it's easy when the bike is on it's trainer. It's not going anywhere! The manager is supposed to call me today.
I'm getting overwhelmed again by all of this. I now want a grossly expensive bike and just cannot justify that right now. So, I'm back to thinking if I can't get what I want then I shouldn't get one at all right now. I'll see how I feel after I ride the felt. That one might be my best bet, but I really prefer the smaller bike shops than Big Shark and Mesa. SO MUCH nicer!
