Bikes of my past

After seeing Brandons list, then Adams list, i decided to follow the trend and make my own list. Here's the list as far back as i can remember-

Mongoose steel frame MTB- full rigid
Royce Union BMX bike- awesome
Mongoose Aluminum hardtail MTB- heavy and horrible
Vitus steel frame tri-bike- first 700c bike, road well but not very fast...squishy.
Fuji Aloha tri bike- Don hooked me up here and i road the wheels off it, kind of liked it.
Fuji Tahoe Pro MTB- First decent mountain bike. Pretty good ride
Specialized Allez elite Road bike- first road bike, nothing special(ized)
Redline SS 29'er- Fun but useless
Cervelo P3C- Unreal.. I don't want a P4
Cervelo Soloist Carbon- Another great cervelo, most fun bike I've ever ridden
Fuji Mt. Fuji Pro MTB- somewhat disappointed, but a fun bike
Orbea Orca (as commuter)- Never late to work on it
Cervelo SLC-SL- R.I.P
Soon to come- another SLC-SL frame

The past 10 or so is within the last 3-4 years... I should slow down with the bikes..

Weather and other boring crap like that...

This weather is bullshit, but I guess considering it's middle of December I should be a little more thankful. I just wish it'd stay somewhat consistant for more than 24 hours. I do hate that everything seems to drastically slow down as soon as November ends.

It is that time of the year that everything at the shop changes too. New '09 bikes and accesories and I think it's tradition to knock out a couple walls and rearrange the whole inventory but we've gotten that out of the way early. My recovery is still the slow process I was told it would be so it's good I don't actually have the motivation to want to do anything. Saturday evening I did get to spend 4 hours in the Brack ER so they could stick a 12 guage needle into my elbow to dig out a piece of glass that had been bothering me for a month. Aaaand that's about the only exciting thing going on with me besides getting a PowerTap power meter for my P3C! More later....
