Here it is...the beaming proud owner of a new bike

Today I picked up the bike I've been wanting to get for a while. My wife didn't want that debt hanging over our heads, so she suggested I just pay it off and pick it up. Welll...OK! I wasn't planning on picking it up until spring, just so would't be tempted to ride it in less than gentle,dry conditions. I have to baby it for a little while!

It's an '05 Giant XTC. Holy Crap is it ever light! I had forgotten how light it was until I picked it up again. I took it home, put on a new computer, adjusted the pedals (clip-less) for my shoes to click in just right, and went for a ride around my house. I also weighed it, and found it to be only 26.8 pounds.
