The day after I signed up to do the Aids LifeCycle I went looking for a new bike. I didn't have much money and I wasn't completely sure what bike to get. But, I knew I needed a decent road bike. I just didn't want to pay thousands of dollars. So I started with the one place I always go when I'm buying or selling things, Craigslist.There it was, an add for a barely used Biachi Imola. I called immediately. The girl selling already had a perspective buyer. "Could I come to see it now?" I have a date!....forget it.. Yes I could come now.
I've never used a human as collateral before. But I did this day and as I felt the wind in my hair I knew this was worth it. I bought the bike. 700 hundred smackers! Not as cheap as I expected. That brings my total to 745 dollars with bike and sign up fee.
btw. Did you know there was a grand prix/ formula driver named Jules Bianchi? This picture came up when I was searching for images of my bike online. When I read further I discovered a young formula atlantic driver named Simona De Silvestro. The site stated that Swiss Simona dominated round two of Formula Atlantic at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. She turned her first pole position into her second victory in this very competitive series. It's a challenging course. The Atlantic circuit is open wheeled racing. Imagine taking a go kart up to 120 miles an hour. You feel everything.
Awesome! She's my new inspiration!! You Go Girl!!
(anyone who knows my love of racing will understand this segway)
