Yeah, I can't wait to see them. THats an awesome old school bike. My Madone cost about 8k when it was all said and done but 2 k worth of computer on top of that is a bunch. One of these days I will be able to get one but not anytime soon.

I didn't. I went steel and "let" my wife treat herself to a really nice Dolce Elite. I've determined that when the time is right for me to get a go faster bike, I'll have no problem selling the program to her.

I have a Sugar momma, My wife bought it for me. We are gonna get her a 2 series in the next month or so so she can ride with me every now and then. There is no more of that now that we have a mortage and all.
Cycling was my life before flying, and though I don't get to do it everyday and race competitively like I used to do I still enjoy it. Nothing wrong with getting the best if you are gonna use the hell out of it.

lol, It helped to that in 2010 the New Madone was a brand spankin new model and I ordered the first one in the State, Got a bit of a deal of the frame. That being said, its a Project One bike and even has my name on it.
Come on down for a week of riding and they can talk all you want them to.

My wife is very supportive of my cycling habit, I quit smoking and hanging out in bars until the wee hours and started riding. She's happy I'm taking care of myself and I'm easier to be around when I ride. It's my outlet to relieve stress, and it really works.
I didn't pay retail for the PowerTap or the GPS, I have a friend who owns 2 bike shops so I get great deals. We have a club team and often our sponsors will get us gear at less than cost. I'm looking at a Quarq but will have to sell my spare bike to be able to afford that. I might hold off until they start selling pedal based power meters, sell both of my bikes, and then buy a new bike and the pedals. Having 2 kids put a big dent into my cycling fund.

An abscess very near my rear end, if you get the idea, and it needs time to heal up so running, biking and climbing will do little more than stretch it out. It was south of my sit bones, but still in an area that'll get beat to crap on a bike or while running.
It really blows, I was hoping to get some climbing in out west later this month, or take my bike somewhere, or do SOMETHING to get out of this God forsaken, mosquito infested, suburban hell of a state I call home, but that'll all likely get put off until next season now.

I live in Ann Arbor, holmes, about 45 miles away from Detroit
But I'm still 6 hours away from the closest mountains, which is frustrating.
