Here is "M" with her mom, my dear sister-in-law Amy:
They seem distracted by something...perhaps "M" was checking out the neighbor's beagle.Next, a picture of the new Trek, with the Superwagon as backdrop.
Here is my brother's new car. A (some year or other) BMW 7-something or other. Aside from the fatal flaws of not being a wagon, nor all-wheel drive, nor possessing a turbocharger (egad!!!), it's pretty nice.
And here's another picture of the new Trek, which better highlights its shininess.
Ooooh, shiny. Since this photo was taken, the stem has been flipped, providing about an inch lower bar position. As my gut diminishes, and my flexibility and fitness grows, the lower spacers may disappear altogether. It's got a really tall head tube, so even slamming the bars will provide a pretty upright position. If I want to get more aero than that, well, whoever is sponsoring me will have to provide another bike, because I'll be in the Tour de France.Speaking of the Tour de France, pretty exciting race called the Giro d'Italia is going on right now. Yesterday's stage was pretty action-packed, with the underappreciated Carlos Sastre dominating the final climb to take 20-odd seconds out of pink jersey leader and renowned "stoic Russian", Denis Menchov. Levi Wheelsucker flatted on a descent, and exerted himself so much catching back on that he was dropped on said final climb, and His Lanceliness had to drop back to tow him to the finish; both dropped a couple of minutes overall. Race over for those two, unless there's a miracle. The fun resumes tomorrow, today was a rest day.
