1000 Mile Goal

Reached and breached, baby! YEEAAAHHHHH!

I went out with Andy and my Dad tonight and rode a new route on my new bike. 14-ish miles, I say "ish" because my Garmin tracked 13.73 but I had to walk pushing the bike up a super, super steep dirt path for quite a way and damn it that counts!

Yes, I said I got a new bike. My mom's old bike was great but it already had some serious high mileage on it when I got it and I put over 400 miles on it just in the last 2 months. Some of the rear gears have been clicking and clacking forever so when the front gears/crank started to speak out the other night we decided it was time.

I chose a Trek Verve 3. Gun metal grey w/ non-optional swirly-girly yellow flower stickers.



Why yes, I went out to the garage in my jammies with wet hair to pose for this picture. hee hee

Hurray!!! What a wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations on the new bike! Any thoughts on what you'll do with the old one? It must hold such a place in your heart from a) being your mom's and b) being the bike you rode those very special life changing miles on!

This is sorta like the bike I rode with Michele. It was so comfortable and easy to handle. YEAH!!! for a new bike.
Don't fret your weight, you know very well it's just temporary and it will move in the right direction soon.
Take care Sarah and have a blessed day!
