I bought a new Lady. Sure I was inspired by my boy Beecher and his new wheels. I am so pumped. I pick it up Friday I hope. That means a nice ride on Saturday if all goes to plan. I think I will also take an extra day off during Thanksgiving week to get on the road some more. I can't wait. My Trek has done me just right and I will keep it for a rainy day or when I feel like I have neglected her long enough. So, my new ride is a 2006 Giant TCR1 Comp. The new 07's came out so I got a sweet deal from the LBS and they are shipping it up here from San Diego...(That place is like Bike Heaven...they are all born from San Diego). Anyway, I am dropping some Shimano RC 700 compact cranks on the ride as well to make sure I can handle Col' de Hamilton on any given Sunday....I mean Saturday. I will have pics shortly. It comes with all the upgrades. If anybody knows me, they know I debated for days on if I should or not. I finally had a good chat with K and she was all for it...(maybe so she would not feel guilty for hitting the outlet malls) but nontheless...I bought it. 2007 looks like it will be a great year for riding. It sounds like Beecher has all the routes lined up. We just need our long lost Cole Trickle to Trickle his way back to the fold. The way he rode in the HHH this year....he does not need a bike upgrade.
Anyway, now you all know what I got for Christmas. If you had a new bike for Jens on your list this year, you can cross that off and think of something else to get me.

if you're like chris, there is still PLENTY left on the wish list.
we'll be watching for the pics this weekend.
Yeah baby! I am so excited for you. Tonight must be crazy and tomorrow at work will be worse (that's if you go). I can't wait to see the pics! I have read so many good things about the Giant TCR's - good for distance, comfortable, fast, and light. Now we definitely need to hook up and ride. I removed the dork dish tonight. It was unsightly. Pics and a good report of the ride ... can't wait to hear. I bet it will look good on the Col.
I am so excited for you I keep checking your blog for an update on the bike.
How about some details?
Color?
Or a link?
It is driving me crazy waiting. I can only imagine your anticipation.
