The New Bike

I have recently purchased a brought home a new Trek Equinox TTX 9.9 for the coming season.  I have only had the pleasure of riding it on my indoor trainer, but am already in love with the bike.  The difference between a road position and a tri position is immense.  I can feel the relaxation in my upper body as my legs are allowed to pound away.  I was able to get my hands on a 2008 model meaning a major discount at this time of year.  The one and only difference between the 2008 and 2009 is the color.  While I originally didn't want silver, I am already in love with it after a few hours.  Anyway, I need to go back and ride the bike more!
