New Bike

So today I had about enough.... Race # 5 - 4th is the series of triathlons...
And again this year I had a number of women larger in size than me ZOOM on by me with their speedier fancier bikes....  I have been talking about getting a new bike for over a year now.  My friend, Stephanie, can attest to all the conversations we have had about getting a new bike.  She loves her biking... 
I was going to get one at the end of race season 2 years ago - at that time I had done 2 triathlons and 1 dualthon...  And I thought... but then thought again... I think that was the time I really strained my knee with the cycling and the running...
So I thought I will make an effort to do more cycling when the weather turned around in the Spring... And we spoke of a new bike then....  I even tried to work out a loaner bike for a race to try out a different type of bike...  Instead I got hybrid tires on my mountain bike...
So this season I have been looking at some bikes...  I started looking to see how much have i really been riding?  I got on my bike in January and have been riding it or a stationary bike since the end of February... So I feel justified in the purchase... 
Will keep you posted on the successes and challenges of the new bike...
