Cycling EXTRAORDINAIRE!

I've been on the lookout for a road bike lately. Something a little lighter and more condusive to distance riding than the city-bike I currently own. On impulse this week I checked out the TTC Auctions website, and low and behold....

So I've purchased a grey, racing bike. 20" frame, 27" skinny-ass road wheels -- in unknown condition :P I'm a little worried that the frame will be too small for me (I should ideally be on a 21" frame I think), but that will all depend on how I sit on the men's frame. Meh, if not, I'll sell it on Craigslist and put the money towards a new one.

If it does fit though - I have visions of spending days sanding it down this winter and painting it purple. I always wanted a purple bike.

Otherwise - tonight's the first night of my running clinic. Hopefully picking up my bike goes pretty quickly so I'm not late!

Otherwise, the heat has been KILLING me. Hopefully the new bike inspires me to get out for more exercise though - because I've been getting puffy!
