It Begins...

Ok here goes; Picked up a 2006 Trek 2200(thanks Dad!) from the The Cyclery in Edwardsville last weekend. As a novice rider I was unaware of the difference a lighter bike can make. The next day I went on a quick 23 mile ride around the MCT Green loop. I have a computer on order so I do not have exact ride data yet, but I can say that this bike is fast. No more excuses, its all on me to get conditioned, can't blame the equipment anymore...damn.
