Still not a happy camper, but better

My foul mood has partially carried over to today.  I mean really, I had just installed (double-side tape as recommended) my bike computer on my bike.  I don't even have 1 mile logged on it.  And my bike craps out.

My husband looked at the chain and it came apart at a place where it is supposed to allow removing/adding links, but I lost the pin.  And after inspecting the shifting/derailleurs, it really is in sort of sad shape.  Not perfectly straight, which I could tell when I tried to shift.

My beloved mountain bike (I know I've been complaining about it) is headed for the ????  I could probably spend some money to get it fixed, but is it worth it? 

I got absolutely no moving accomplished yesterday.  That's the first time in 4 weeks that I did nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  That is pathetic and makes my mood even worse.

Got that out of my system and I am over it.  Truly I am.  Because......

My new bike

This is my new bike!  It is a Dark Metallic Blue Trek 7.2 FX.  And it is gorgeous.  I don't actually have it in hand just yet, my store had to contact another store to have them ship the last one available in the size I wanted.  My store had 2, but they were just a size too big.  Don't get me wrong, I would have dealt just fine with the bigger size, and I would have bought it immediately, but I did the right thing and had them check the other stores and I got lucky.

My bike should be at my local store on Monday.  Not until Monday evening though.  The wait will be worth it.  I have heard nothing but good reviews about this bike.  And it turns out that one of my friends has the 7.3 FX and absolutely loves his.

I.  Can't.  Wait!

So, in the meantime, it is a weekend and I may not have biked the trail anyhow.  So, put the feet on my lakes trail and I was off.

I walked 2.47 miles in 46.40 minutes.  I really was planning on walking more but nature was calling.  That just sucked.  Oh well.  I was moving!  I really enjoy walking around the lakes, it is just so calming.
