And speaking of bikes.........

We weren't in the market for it but fate conspired for us to buy Marianne a new road bike. Some friends of ours had ordered it with some special deal which meant they couldn't return it when it turned out to be too big. It's a Felt F3C full up carbon with all Dura Ace except for the FSA carbon compact crank. It's insanely light, fits Marianne great, and bonus! It was about a grand off of list. This bike could make me give up titanium.
