soloist it is

Okay, a decision has been made. I'm getting the Cervelo Team Soloist road bike!! I talked further to Ian, and got the ok from Chad, and made up my mind! Chad has an Orbea Orca and wants the Ordu, but I can't climb into that price range quite yet. Soloist it is. Awesome bike. Full Ultegra components, aluminum frame but carbon fork, carbon seatpost, aero everything! Cool anodized finish as well. I'm headed to CycleLogik next week to get fit. I'm not entirely sure which size frame I need. I know my Eclipse is too big for me, part of the comfort issue.

Nothing like spending a weekend with small children to put one off having children in the first place! I think I'll stick with the dog. Not that I don't love my nephew and all, but wow, does that ever require ALOT of time, money and increase stress levels by huge amounts. Love the kid, but don't think I want my own! Hell, a new road bike wouldn't be happening with a little one running around! Not that I'm completely selfish or anything, but at present, I can't imagine changing my lifestyle to suit kids.

Back to the grind today after driving back from TO yesterday. I think I found someone at work who shares a similar mind-set about protocols! Kinda neat actually. But it was a good day - got alot done and moved a few projects forward. Friday, a bunch of us have to sit through diversity training. Ugh. Apparently it's not so bad, but it's going to be a full 8 hours worth of role-playing and discussion. I can think of better ways to spend a friday. Like dreaming about my new Cervelo!! I can't wait for the snow to melt now.
