. So, I am really excited about purchasing a new light weight road bike within the next week or so and as usual when I get into something, I go all out!. Just need to get the wife to get into it...Then maybe I would get an increase in my allowance...
Anyone else out there in the Tidewater area, give me a shout!

Welcome to bike forums Zapper! I'm not in the tidewater area any longer but I did spend 11 years there off and on ending 3 years ago. I was on the peninsula at Langley. I rode all over the peninsula and a good portion of the Suffolk area as well.
Where do you plan to buy from? I can honestly recommend Conte's over on the peninsula. Cross the James River Bridge, take a left on Warwick and they are on the left about a 1 1/2 miles. They gave me super deals there. I bought several bikes, frames, groupos and anything else I could think of there. At least give them a try if you're shopping for a new bike. They handle Cannondale mainly, but I purchased two Aegis's there too.
