Although I will never be a roadie - this happened....
Trek Madone 5.2 Carbon Fiber Women's Specific bike....with all kinds of fancy components that I don't understand.
The truth is that the summer here in the woods can be miserable with the ticks and the steamy swampy air...Thank god I don't eat red meat - read this article - Aside from causing red meat allergy the damn tick bites itch so bad they keep you up at night and scar your ankles and legs.  Soo I ended up adding this bad boy to the fleet.
Its pretty friken sweet - 
It was a big splurge but as my friends and the salespeople at the bike shop pointed out...I will have this for at least 10 years, because I am a cyclist I would definitely notice and get very frustrated with crap components on a lower end bike...this one has Ultegra on it..
So here's to going really fast and waking up at 4:30 to go for long rides before the traffic gets ridiculous!
I'm also convinced this will help me get to goal.
I've been holding steady at 168.4
