Wow, what a week! Where did all the time go? In my last post I was busy riding my bike and this week I'm busy trying to find a new one. After teaching a Outdoor Bootcamp in Pioneer Square (downtown Portland at an event called FitJam to benefit diabedes research) we rode our bike to a quick sushi meal before heading home. After some debate about whose bike should be put up on the porch first (I had a ride planned for the morning) we must have forgotten to lock them. Mine wasn't there in the morning. Absolutely heart-broken. My trusty Trek was one of my first "major" purchases and I rode it daily for ten years. Love. Almost more difficult than dealing with the fact that I'll probably never see it again is dealing with the fact that I have to use the car again! 20 tanks of gas buys a brand new bike. Deciding what bike i'll love for the next decade is proving just as hard as I imagined. There are so many choices but many less that fit my criteria. Sporty, fast, light, solid, sexy and under $600. I have a crush on a new Gary Fisher (the Wingra model) but have to kiss a few more frogs before making my final decision. Not to mention the triathalon (My 1st) this weekend. The race is quite literally ON!
