It decided to snow... Mid April. Funny enough I have no complaints with the snow so I was quite happy partly because I still like winter but mostly because I thought the snow would help make a good background for this photo of myself and my new, very white bike.
So yea I got a new bike and I'm super excited about it. Its my first "real" road bike and one of the first bikes I've had that somewhat properly fits me. It is a 2011 Specialized Allez Sport and I love it so far, its a big step up for my 1970s 30lb steel road bike, and this is only an entry level road bike. I really love biking and thats the one main things I like about the warmer weather. Just like most things I also bought it second hand. I also got proper clipless pedals for it and a pair of biking shoes (all used as well). And with all of that with a couple of other random things I needed to buy for this bike, now bike set up now officially costs more then my car... But then again my car is worth nothing. Point is I've already had it for two weeks and because of the terrible weather I've only put on 60km on it but hopefully that'll change soon.
