    Do they make pointy hats that say numpty? Oh wait, it won't have to.. that much will be obvious :) I'm still looking at it going 'Oh god I hope I've done the right thing!'

    This morning, even though I wanted to take my new mount out to play, I had to do a long run. Managed 18.4 miles which is better than I've done of late. I have blistered toes which are becoming more of a problem but otherwise it was a nice run!

    I just found out that argon comes from Greek and means 'lazy' or 'the inactive one'. THIS BIKE WAS MEANT FOR ME :)

    Is this it?? What color is yours?? And this bike screams pointy hat!!!! And the seat is so high you might want to watch for lurkers at your cleavage. Or, on the other hand, could be a good distraction technique...... ;)

    Thats the frame but mine is white. It is going to take a bit of practice to get used to the position but cleavage exposure won't be an issue :) I'll post a pic tomorrow. :)

    I did, didn't I? Rule 1. Do not post when sleepy.

    There shall be no cleavage shots in this log unless Dory is feeling generous or one of the lads gets their pecs out :) For those who need some of that kind of motivation I recommend the hot warrior workout on youtube. :)

    Oh yeah. Training. Did a 1500m swim last night then straight to kbs which were tough but not as bad as last week. Good double session.

    You are as bad as Trig - turn it around the other way so we can see the specs properly ;)

    Looks great!

    I knew I would get pulled up for that. Not happy with the chain ring so I left it turned this way. :D

    Anyone who knows me will know it is going to take nothing short of a miracle to get me riding confidently on that machine. (I've only just stopped needing stabilisers on the giant) But that is my next hurdle. I want very much to be a good cyclist, and this is my incentive. :)

    When Dory gets her Mad One were gonna take our bling bikes and go on a thelma and louise style bicycle road trip (hopefully with brad pitt and minus the grand canyon problem at the end). You on, Dory?
