Name my ride

Work threw a surprise wedding/shower party – took me totally by surprise. It was great for us – we got some great cards, advice and gifts. And it was perhaps equally satisfying to my colleagues who got to see me blush 20 shades of red. No, I’m not good at surprises.

Anyway, beautiful day yesterday. Rode to work and then met C, Andrea and Phil at Hains Point for some short loops. The wind was wicked on the back side of the point so I was happy to draft off the boys after 3 loops. Even so my hr was pushing the high 150s. I was glad to hear later that Chad’s got to 167 or so. Did I mention I love my Cervelo P2C?! I feel fast no matter what speed I’m cruising. My position is great for riding aero and I love that I can pick up speed relatively fast. I still need to work on powering up fast but since our race schedule is heavy on the endurance stuff I’m not going to stress out about it. Such a great ride really needs a name. Got any suggestions for a name for my bike?

We are getting all sorts of cue sheets together for riding in Massachusetts. Forecast is for high 40s in the mornings – I stopped riding here in that weather. I already started packing my cool weather gear – so NO excuses! But seriously, I can’t wait until summer!!
