Yeah, we own the house! So happy.

C • WooHoo! 7

Fun ride after work. Mike came with me, which was great. Nice to have a training activity that we can do together.

C • East coast to Wyoming 1

An eventful day.

First, an MRI on my foot. Heel pain went away a few months ago, but then returned. Doctor and I were both baffled. Hope the MRI will solve the mystery. Unfortunately, follow-up with the podiatrist to get results not scheduled until August 10th.

After work, stopped by the house for a final walk through. Previous owner left some good things (cleaning supplies, spare lightbulbs) and some useless things (ugly curtains, wall art). House looks bigger when it's empty :) One more day !

Finally, to the shop to get the bike, a helmet, a lock and a bottle carrier. First time I will wear a helmet while riding----it's been that long since I owned a bike :)

C • That house will feel a lot ... 6

C • Left behind items 5

Rode the Trek again and decided it was the bike for me. The Giant might be a shade lighter/quicker, but something in the geometry of the Trek fits me better. Right now the bike has heavier road tires; I can always switch to lighter/smoother tires, once I feel more comfortable riding around.

Followed by a great burger with Gene, Raymond and Mike. Fun evening.

Only 2 days to go !

C • Hooray! 4

Was going to go to the pool after work. But I didn't.

C • I can relate 1

Four days to go

Tried three bikes today:
Trek 7.2 FX
Specialized Vita
Giant Dash (aka FCR3)

Narrowed my choice down to the Trek or the Giant. Very subtle differences between the two. May need to ride the Trek again before I finally decide.
