New Car!

Well, new to me!

I just bought a new car, for my new job, for my new bike, with the same company!

I really like the fact that I paid for the car in cash. I also like that the car is worth less than my bike!

My welcoming to Chicago by the weather has been pretty chilly, cold, wet, & snowy, if that's a word. It also has been pleasant, I say pleasant because the people that live here, are all very out going, and are happy to welcome you to their beautiful city!
I'll update more later, and hopefully with pics! :)

Adam is Right

It's sucks that I have to not update for three weeks to get one comment from Adam!  :)
But anyway, here is the 411 on what's new!
number one, when I updated with a Trek bike pic, I ended up not getting that bike since there was a communication error with my friend.
But I eventually did find a bike that I felt matched my personality.
I ended up getting a triathlon bike a "Felt B2" I really liked the color scheme and I think that's what attracted me to the most to it plus the components!
I picked the bike up from Roger Soler in the San Antonio area.  he owns three bike shops there and is an ex Olympic champion!
He picked me up from the airport, let me spend the night at his house, took me to his shops, lunch and then dropped me off at the airport. 

As I blogged in the past, and the main reason that I have been so busy, I basically have taken a new job with the same company.  I am now based in the Greater Chicago area and got here a couple of days ago.
More Later...

Orange County then Vegas

Last week I was in Orange County, and then hitched a ride to Vegas for a day.
I hooked up with Troy there from Cannondale and we rode BootLeg canyon while in Vegas!  It is an aggressive, yet do able and FUN trail!  I'll want to go back for sure in the future!







I am in NYC right now with the g.f. :)
We just finished watching the Phantom of the Opera!

The Tour of California Pics

I know that this is late also, BUT

Here they are :)






















I got pretty much a front row seat, and VIP access since I am good friends with Mr. Shimano.  I know that sounds weird, and still sounds weird to me also, but he's really a down to earth wholesome guy!








I also know that this is A LOT of pics!
But check them out, enjoy them just like I enjoyed taking them.
I am in Phoenix right now,
I've been to Orange County, and Vegas which I will post pics for later also.

Today IS

My birthday, and NOT my birthday haha :)
