My cool new bike

So I finally got my new bike a few days ago. It’s a specialized Allez triple and I’m sure that means nothing to most of ya’ll. I didn’t know what one was a month ago either. And let me tell you I was missing out.. Before getting the bike I had never sat my butt down on a real road bike. I just rode around on hybrids and thought that was fun. But I just took the Allez on a test drive and it was amazing! I didn’t realize what a huge difference a road bike makes. It’s so much faster, easier, and just simply more fun. I went on a 28 mile ride and that felt much easier than if I did a 15 mile ride on my hybrid. This bike most defiantly gives me more confidence about riding cross America. I have to admit though it’s going to take some getting used to. The bent over riding position of a road bike will probably make me a hunch back for life (hey we’re riding 4-8 hours a day). Due to my substantial lack of coordination, the clip-on pedals will probably cause me to fall over a few times while trying to get on (but that’s what helmets are for!). But all in the entire bike is amazingly amazing :) and I can’t wait to ride it this summer! So I better leave you with that thought before I sound too much like a bike commercial.
