My New Ride

I've been wanting a road bike for over a year now. I did my first triathlon last year and ever since I borrowed my friend's bike for the race, I've sort of had the fever. I had saved my little pennies and before my brother left for medical school, I bought this beauty. I had to have my brother, the avid rider, come with me to make this purchase so that I didn't buy something that was wrong for me. He sure helped me! A guy in his ward was working and I got hooked up with all sorts of stuff. It's just too bad I didn't get out on a ride with Jeff before he left. But maybe now I can get some practicing in and next summer I might be able to keep up with him. I love it! This is Ruby...



I haven't been out too many times yet, but when I have been out, it's been great. We were in Bear Lake a couple weeks ago, the last trip of the season. We were closing up the cabin for the winter. My dad and I took our bikes and we got out on a ride. It was beautiful! The fall colors, the lake, it was great. I had to send this picture to my brothers to prove that I actually ride my bike.



This was the view on our ride, love it!
