Yup, well aware of that classic mistake. I also do not park my car in the garage at home or work. I will not jynx myself by engaging in the topic further, but so far I'm loving the rack.

New Speedplay Zero pedals and the fine shoes below. They're much nicer than what I actually need, but I must have tried on 25 different size/style/brand combinations in 6 different stores and these fit the best.
Both for 25% off or I wouldn't have bought them.
The plan was also to buy a new pump because mine doesn't work right, but I was too excited about the shoes and pedals that I forgot.

I spent $5.99 on a sweatshirt at goodwill. It will be my leave-behind after the start of the Hemet Double. I hate being cold, but don't want to tote a jacket all day.
So, once the day warms up, the sweatshirt get's left somewhere. No, not littered, but left never to be seen again.
No photo. But it's red. And a sweatshirt.

New floor pump to replace a JoeBlow Sport II that sucked big time rather than blow air.
Hurrican Team HP floor pump. Worth every penny.

I made a trip out to the burbs last night and bought a nearly mint 2008 LeMond Sarthe with 105/Ultegra double.

I had a hint, from the 50+ HTFU thread, this was coming.
I was at a Specialized store in Berkeley (Mikes's) to get a much smaller Specialized product (saddle) last week and drooled over the Roubaix and Tarmac frames while waiting for the salesman. I was amazed how light they are too. The frames design and finish are really fantastic. I like black frames but the Saxo Bank color scheme is awesome.
You got the box today so we get to see the fully mounted bike tomorrow morning. Right?

Garmin Edge 500
Love my new Garmin Edge 500. Paired it with the premium Garmin HR monitor. Very easy to mount and switch bikes. Provides cool ride data you can upload to Strava.

Bought some arm coolers off of ebay. Was skeptical but they work good. After spending all day in the San Jose sun on Saturday my arms are not shades darker like my face & legs. Not so great when your sitting still, but when your moving and especially if you wet them....oh man. Good stuff. Between that an the SwiftWick socks, I feel like I have some serious gear upgrades this week.

a couple of weeks ago....got NOS ultegre 9 speed STI brifters.
Replaced the duraace 9 spd barcons. The barcons worked great, but i don't like them better than down tube shifters and hit the right shifter with my knee on a regular basis at stops.
Finally got a ride i with the new shifters........very nice
