New Things.

Fun new things at the Abraham household. We got our Burley on Friday and took Annie on her first bike ride on Easter Sunday. It was really nice out, so we rode the 10mile loop around town.

Getting loaded up!
Heading out.
On the bike path.
She was comfy.
She did really well...didn't make a sound for the entire ride, just alternated between sleeping and looking out the windows.

I also got the receiver hitch installed on the Subie a few weeks ago:
No more Yakima rack! I got the Saris Thelma 2 rear mount rack, so that should work well.

The Eddy got some changes this past winter as well. New wheels and a new group:
Got the carbon Aeolus 5.0 wheels with the new Shimano 7900 group. Nice! The 7900 brakes are amazing...might take me a few rides to get used to the new lever shape on the shifters though.

In other news...my first race of the season will probably be sometime in the next three weeks. I haven't decided on the exact race yet though. Still have 3 more weeks of hockey, that's always a fun time. Heather's parents are visiting us this upcoming weekend, and then maybe Brandon and Gillian the following weekend.
Talk to you all later! :)

Annie says "holy crap, that BB is rusty."

Thanks Vino! Those Belgians know what they are doing. :)

Tonia, in the 50s/60s now, but supposed to get up to near 70 by Thurs/Fri. Is it 120 degrees in AZ yet? ;)

Nice comment timing, Greg. :D

I might get the 970 repainted next winter to get rid of the rust. Keep it the same color, but it would have the new logo style...I doubt they still have decal kits from 1996 lying around.
