Saturday - May 12 (Steve)

Saturday was a quick bike ride over to Bryant. It was just a good way to test out the roads for a commute to work and also to see how it would be for riding today. The ride wasn't bad. It was fairly hilly so it was a pretty solid hour workout with a backpack full of stuff I needed to bring to the swim clinic. Rowdy is one enthusiastic guy about swimming. It's great listening to him talk, but he didn't offer anything that we don't already say to the kids, the only difference is kids listen to you when you've earned a gold medal in the Olympics. The funny thing about it all is he didn't even spend a combined 10 minutes on breast/fly, but hey, he was a freestyler and a damn fast one at that. After Mike, Jill and myself headed up to Wheelworks (where I decided on NOT getting the Zenith, I opted for a sleeveless after trying on that Zenith). One thing I can say is if you're thin the Zenith makes you look like the most fit person in the world. I got to model it there once I got the thing on while the other Wheelworks members checked it out. It was actually pretty cool. After we went to ATA Cycles which was definitely one of the best shops I've EVER been in. They only carried high end bikes. Mike and Jill each tried out the Kuota K-Factor and loved it. I want to dump the Giant and get a bike there. Their fit room was awesome too. I want to go there and get a Kuota Kalibur without a doubt. I need to do this before the end of the year. I love that bike.
