New Bike

I have had many issues with my bikes over the years. I crashed this past summer going downhill at 35mph. My bike developed a high speed wobble which became uncontrollable and down I went. Fortunately, I came away from that with just lots of road rash. Miraculously I didn't break anything. Being big has its advantages at times :-)

What I realized after that is that my new bike just doesn't fit right and may lead to this again. So, the rest of the year, I rode it very cautiously. I am very inflexible and these new tri bikes are so aggressive. I decided to bite the bullet and get a custom fit bike from Elite bicycles. I have heard so many good things from them despite them not being one of the more popular brands in the triathlon world. They are a small manufacturer who makes their bikes in the USA, which is rare today.

I'm getting fitted on Nov. 17 when I travel down to Philadelphia for the Philly half marathon that I will be running on Nov. 18. More on that later.
