This week Santa made an early stop at my house. Well, he actually made me drive 90 miles to pick up my present: a 2008 Trek Madone 6.9 Pro. I’ve had the itch for a new bike for some time now, and having my Felt on the CompuTrainer makes for a bit of a hassle when the weather turns nice and I want to go outside. A shop in San Diego was “blowing out” the 08 Madone 6.9 Pro, and offering a 12 month no payment/no interest deal that was too much for my weakened willpower to withstand.
So with the hesitant approval of my finance manager I drove south and signed up. Who says there is a credit crunch? It took all of 3 minutes for Trek to approve the transaction. The shop did a very complete bike fit and I was on my way in no time.
Continuing with coach Wharton’s training plan. Lots of intervals... I’ve been trying to figure out how best to get WKO+ charts out of the program to post. XP doesn’t have a nifty window capture utility built in, and my Mac keyboard doesn’t have a print screen key. I’ll dig around for some shareware--there must be something out there that will let me grab the charts.
Finally, the ErgVideo Threshold Test DVD arrived yesterday. I will have a go at it next week and report back. In the meantime, lots of rain in the forecast so the Madone will have to be content looking pretty in my living room while I spin away on the CT until the sun comes out again...
