This must be my lucky year. I just won a brand new tri bike. I didn't think I'd be able to get a tri bike until all my kids are out of college (which isn't going to be for 8 more years!)
During the month of July, BT was having a contest: Upload a video to your BT profile, and then submit it, then you are entered into a random drawing to win a Valdora AC-TRI Aero bike.
AND I WON!!!!!!!!
From a frame material and quality of components point of view, it's comparable to my current bike, which is a Specialized Dolce Elite. The Dolce is a great bike, and, as you know if you are a regular blog reader, I LOVE MY SWEET DOLCE! However, the Valdora has the aerodynamic frame shape (free speed), the tri specific geometry (better running off the bike), and DuraAce bar-end shifters (Yeah!). I can't wait to get it!
One thing, tho, is that I feel a little sad, like I am "cheating" on my current bike, by getting this new one. Am I totally weird?
PS: had a great bike ride today, got the saddle to a good spot. Also, had some great runs on the treadmill, which I have resurrected. I'll write more about this stuff later.
