Back in October my mother retired from her job. About a week later my dad called and said that mom didn't think he needed 6 bicycles and that he should give me one. It was very humorous that she did this only a week into being retired. Great for me, maybe not so much for my dad. All to say, my dad ends up selling one of his bikes, buying me a new frame that fits me better from ebay and building me this top of the line road bike. The funny thing is I didn't even ride very often. It is something I enjoy and want to do more but had just started to really get back into the sport. Well, my father spent one rainy weekend in his garage and built the bike. Harris brought it back for me from Amarillo and now it is up to me to ride the thing. I rode it on the trainer once but I have finally taken it out a few times. Since the time has changed I have more day light and can go. I want to say a big THANK YOU to my parents. To my mom, thank you for telling dad that he didn't need 6 bikes. To my dad, this bike is way more than i ever need or deserve...but it is amazing and makes riding so much fun! I really enjoy it. The pic is after my very first ride on the bike. Parents are the best!
