Well, I dropped the hammer on Thursday and bought a new bike. It's a Raleigh Grand Sport 2005. Aluminum frame, carbon fiber front & rear forks, carbon fiber seat post, and lots of goodies. It's got all the upgraded gear stuff, brakes, shifters, etc. My neighbor is also a biker and he's pretty jealous. That's how I knew I got a good bike., jealous neighbors. :^)
I got a good deal because it's last years model. Plus, since I work with the guy that owns the place I got 15% off of the bike and 25% off of the accessories. Gotta love the good deals.
Anyway, I've riden twice now. Ten miles on Thursday and 11.5 miles today. Today I averaged 16.7 mph. I know this because I bought a computer that attaches to the bike to tell speed, mileage, etc. Like a true engineer, I'll be keeping a running log of my distances and speeds. I'll be a geek later and post my progress.
Updates to come...
