With compliant weather, I've scheduled a ride with a friend for Tuesday!

I know I may not "deserve" this bike, but I was looking to make an investment for several years. This should curb my desire to upgrade for quite some time. The shoes and pedals were not what I originally intended, but in the store, I figured I'd save some money here and upgrade shoes at a later date when these wear out. The shoes and pedals were 50% off, otherwise I probably would be on Speedplay right now. Or, saving for a set of pedals and shoes.
I know it's not the best picture, and I apologize. This is just a phone picture I took to commemorate the moment.
Thank you!
Yeah Dude. you deserve that bike - NO DOUBT. Enjoy it.
