Ride report and yearnings for new things
Foreword: I've been riding my bicycle from my office in downtown Austin(literally at the Capitol building) to everywhere within reach at least three times a week. I crammed the rear sprocket on my Cannondale road bike getting snarky on the hike and bike trails, so I switched to my ancient mountie that is nearly 14 years old now.
It must be time to find a new route. What WAS taking me an hour to ride by bicye, is now taking me more along the lines of 45 minutes. And I rather like the full hour ride. I THINK that if I add in some more of Town Lake Hike and Bike I'm likely to push it to 1:15, which is a bit long, but might make a better goal to get down to an hour.
Unfortunately, I have a jonesing for a new bicycle(T would murder me, I'm already at 5 just in the house). And to make it worse, I want one of the new mounties with a 29" wheel instead of the smaller 26". *sigh* Something like this one.
They ARE awfully cool. And a new mountie would be pretty cool.
Nope nope. Being a semi-irresponsible human being and limiting myself to a cheap used racing motorcycle...
