Default **WARNING** Bike Porn

Silly has had other recent successes lately. Not low on the list is finally talking me into buying a new road bike. This would be called a Giant OCR C3.



How pretty is that? I took it out for a spin immediately after silly fitted me. She is fast and nimble (I'm talking about the bike not Sarah, but I could be). My friends rock. So does my wife for not killing me (She kinda encouraged me). Lisa and Sarah are my two favorite girls.

I'm glad you love it! They're really cool bikes...My shop owner's wife rides one, and she could ride anything in the store.

I gotta look at the timing on the MS150 as in calendar. My plan is to do the Tour de Rock next month and the BDB100 in September. Mainly though I'm expecting to do a few tri's this year.

That is good news Joe. Now I'll have a machine to ride when I'm in LR next week!

Did I mention that it weighs all of 19 lbs with the cyclometer on it?

Sorry K, I would have helped with outdoor festivities for the summit but I'll be in Boston that weekend. No ridey my bikey.

Well since you'll be in Boston someone will have to ride it.
I've been informed that Lisa is susceptible to bribery.

Kuri and Fish,
shoot me a PM and maybe I can hook you up with road bikes while you're in town.

Random statement of the day, "I can't believe Fish just went Borat on my new ride."
