Hot New Stuff

Well, I finally did it.

I stopped over at Cranked Bike Studio of Neenah today and broke down and bought myself a much-need new riding helmet. As I said earlier, after 10 years of sweat equity in the old one, it was past due. I also grabbed up a new insulated water bottle, something I have not switched out for about three years now.

I went with white, just like my old helmet. From a Specialized to a Giro.

Now, you do NOT walk out of a bike shop on a sunny, hot day with a new ANYTHING and not go try it out immediately!

Sun beating down and 91 degrees, I just did five laps to break in the new stuff and get the itch out of my system.

After all, I DID promise my wife I would just do five laps and get back to water all the perennial gardens.

So it is off to the hose I go.
