Betty bike.

Allow me to introduce you to my latest toy, Betty the bike.  

After much searching and contemplating, we made the plunge and invested in a road bike for me as Dan has been an avid biker for years now and with the move back to Austin, it is a perfect activity for us to do together.  Betty is a Trek Lexa and is pretty, pearly white.  Of course, I had to get geared up with the jersey, shorts, helmet, gloves, etc, etc, etc...  (Who knew that biking was so pricey?!  Not this gal...)

We took her on a 14.5 mile ride on Sunday in Katy and it was wonderful - I kept telling Dan that I felt like I was flying!  

I'm already looking forward to our ride next weekend and even more so, getting her up to Austin!  And because it's always good to have a goal in mind: on April 21-22, 2012, you'll find me trekking it from Houston to Austin during the MS150 in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.  Let the training begin!
