Crazy (bike) talk

Wouldja believe I went bike shopping today?

Well, bike looking. I didn't actually ride anything, because frankly, I don't think anything would have felt good. The sofa didn't feel good. (Though I might have blown it...perhaps a test ride today would have been very telling.)

On paper, I'm becoming infatuated with the Trek Pilot 2.1 s.p.a., although it's a little more that I was looking to spend. Still, the s.p.a. (I think it means "suspension performance advantage"...the frame has a lightweight elastomer to provide suspension) might be worth the extra bucks. One of the least comfortable parts of the metric on Saturday was the tar & chip roads...they made the pain I was already feeling in my knees just radiate up and down my legs, and it bothered my hands and wrists, too.

I still can't believe that the longest, most miserable ride I've done in eight years has encouraged me to want a new bike. This is crazy.

I could go crazier, and spend three grand on the model that's all carbon. That bike weighs less that my Camelbak did on the ride Saturday.

Sweetie, your freakin' car weighs less than your Camelbak did on the ride.
