THE bike.

Yes, we finally got THE bike.

The bike that we have looked for in just about every shop in the SL valley.

The bike that they only make 12 of per year.

The bike that accomodates B's large-ness.

*And most importantly, the bike that matches his bike shoes I got him for Christmas :)

Ok maybe that is not the most important, but is never a bad thing to look good!

BEHOLD- The bike!

It really is a thing of beauty, I won't lie. 

2012 Specialized Roubaix Expert, Brand-spanking-new, super nice(fast) Mavic wheels, Ultegra components. Bottom line- Brad got top of the line!! I guess that is a bonus to being so tall. They don't make the crap bikes in tall sizes, only the nicest ones!

And the best part of the bike: The dinky little bell on the handlebars. It instantly takes this perfecly engineered piece of carbon fiber from being a highly respected racing bike--- to a 10 year old girl riding home from school.

And he dings it every chance he gets :) Haha.

The weather was not cooperating for a few weeks after we got it, but since the sun has joined us again, last week we went 5 days in a row! Yes, I even took him on the initiation ride of Emigration Canyon.  And big surprise: He absolutely killed it. Like barely even seemed phased! How annoying! I'm telling you this man was built to ride. He is fast and is only going to get faster. Watch out SLC. Besides his incredibly broad shoulders, he looks like a full-blown cyclist!

However, besides his incredible ability for this sport, we are having a lot of fun TOGETHER.  It is the best to ride together after a full day of work/school! The sun shining, big mama hill climbs, speedy downhills, good times :) What a fantastic hobby for us to do until our legs don't work anymore! But that is far in the future- so for now we he will look something like
