It's for real

Ok so this is my new bike! After trying out a few stores and a few bikes this is the one I took home. I am one of the most indecisive people I know. My sweet husband was really patient while I was deciding between a Giant and a Trek but in the end I had to go with the Trek. It was hands down the more comfortable bike for me. I went into this process telling myself I wouldn't get a bike based on looks or colors (which is hard for a girl) but it just so happened that my favorite looking bike was also the one I ended up buying. I just really like all the white on it and I think that it will be easy to find cute clothes to match the blue. Yes it is mostly about the bike ride but since I shouldn't reward myself with hot fudge sundaes, I figure bike clothes would be ok. Anyway I'm really excited about it. So now that I have a bike it's for real that I'm going to do the bike ride in October! There is a lot more that I want to share about the ride but I'll save that for another post. I do have one not so funny story to share about my bike. This evening Rob and I loaded the kiddos up in the bike trailer and took my new bike out for a spin. While I was inside getting the kids ready Rob decided to take my new pride and joy for a spin and the stinkin' pig ended up dropping it!!!!!!!! Can you believe it! Luckily there was no real damage done to my bike, only a little scratch on the seat. Any other time I'd probably really like something like that. Scars and scratches are a sign of adventure and toughness to me but my bike is just so new and pretty! He felt really bad so I couldn't be too upset, plus tomorrow we are getting him a bike so he'll have no more reason to mess with mine.
