Weekend Update: Bikes, razors, needles Part I

Sounds like a cycling scandal story doesn't it???

For those who like their weather report early, the weekend was hot: high 90s with Heat Index well over 100 degrees Sat and Sun.

This past weekend started big: Ri-guy got fitted on his new bike and even took it on a test run. He loved it!! Said it felt so smooth, comfortable, fast. He looked happy...I guess he looked the way little boys do when they get a cool new toy. While he toyed with the bike, I went to Caribou Coffee and surfed on my laptop.

After the test ride, it was determined that he *couldn't* (gasp) bring his baby home. Scott and his guys at Epic are working on fixing a problem with shifting to the big ring. Let me just say that Ri-guy loves Epic. If you want a shop where they really care, are laid back, happen to all be adults (and you happen to live in the KC area), check them out.

Anyway....I asked Ri-guy if the big chain ring was important...is he in that big ring very much. Apparently a stupid question. Yes and it needs to be fixed. On my Specialize hybrid, I'm never out of the middle ring...I'm just too lazy to shift with my left thumb ;-)

Not having the bike was okay though because Coach Ken had Ri-guy on a 90 mile ride scheduled on Saturday and Ri-guy wasn't going to use the new bike for such a long ride. Here's a poor video of Ri-guy testing his new bike--it's so bad because I used my camera phone.

So maybe you're saying, "Get to the razors already!"

Next post my friends...where there will be pictures.

This is my first time checking out your blog and reading your profile. Your husband is lucky to have your support. Wow. I'm glad you enjoy triathlon because I can only imagine how hanging out at all those races could get monotonous.
