Potential New Bike...

Matt had been tossing the idea of buying a triathlon bike...but...we kept saying it was not time. He needed to continue riding his road bike and get just a little stronger before we splurged and bought a triathlon bike (in case you don't know...these things don't come cheap). And our main goal right now is supposed to be paying off Matt's car so that I can get a new car...not buying other forms of transportation such as a bike that will only hold Matthew!

As I said, it is not time for a new bike! But...the boys began talking and decided it was time...the boys (Eugene and Matt) begin working up a grand plan...Eugene talks his wife into letting him get a new bike (he upgraded) and Matt will buy his bike. So...they talk and talk and talk some more and finally after ordering a few parts and working on Eugene's bike, Matt was able to ride it for the first time today. He is supposedly riding the bike on a "trial" basis and if he does not like it, he will return the bike to Eugene. Now...do you think that is going to happen? Of course not, Matt rode the bike today and "loved" it!

So...with that being said, I think the below picture is what you will be seeing this triathlon season...
I really have given Matt a hard time about buying the bike, but in all honesty, I am so very proud of him and would be willing to buy him anything to support his training / racing. It is a huge part of our marriage and one of my favorite things we do together as a couple / family. Anna Lauren cannot swim and ride with us, but she misses very few runs.
