The bicycle in question
The sun looked so amazing during my afternoon ride that I had to stop for this picture.
My bike awaiting a Saturday morning ride.
The sun is bright, but I'm ready to go in my new bike gear.
Ash after 550+ miles in less than 3 months. Ready for more!
Ranches in Texas require palm trees, apparently.
Little tired after the hill around mile 24.
All done! 40 miles on the day, 70+ on the weekend!

Me at the top of Mt Unpleasant.
We were pleased to have conquered Mt Unpleasant.
Just after finishing my first 1,000 miles on my bike.
The House at the End of the Road
We stopped here during a long, hot bike ride on National Lemonade day.
Trying out a Trek Madone 5.2 WSD
Out on a Weedon Loop ride with Philip, Simon, and Jean Marie.
Near the end of a very wet ride
Note the mud-spattered face
Simon got away with less mud
Killing myself to get across the line in the local weekly TT, 1 June 2011. Final time for 20 km: 41:31
Simon and I before we started our first interval training ride. Temperature = 97 degrees.
Halfway through the intervals, having gone into a 15 kt headwind. Clearly Simon wants to kill me.
Post-interval ride.
Also post-interval ride.
Rainbow on the way home!
After a post-Flagpole-ride pizza at Blue Baker, we felt better.
Cookie time!
Test riding a Cervelo R3
I clearly liked this bike too much
Simon gave it a go, too
I am very good at getting chain ring grease on my calf.
Me with my brand new Cervelo R3 Rival!
The new bike after its first real ride.
Simon and his sour apple snow cone.
I got pina colada, of course.
Philip and his snow cone.
How terrifying is that tongue?!
Resting mid-ride.
It was so humid that my cell phone camera's lens fogged up.
Cows are smarter than cyclists. They stay in the shade.
