New Bike

Well, I just HAD to have a new bike after my last ride on my comfort bike. It was just taking sooooooo long to get here and there.

I took some great advice from the peeps at the Bike Speak Forum and ended up getting a Trek 7100 - you can view what my beautiful new bike looks like here:

I purchased the guy's model - I didn't like her the ladies one looked. And, I have my good ol' Venture girlie comfort bike should I feel the need to be ladylike.

I have taken a few rides on it, and got up to about 15 mph while riding through the park with my husband. And no - I was NOT going down hill hahah! For me that is really good, and I was able to keep it up for about 15 minutes.

So, still a lot more to do on the bike, but very happy to have something that is easier for me to keep up with my husband on rides.
