I don't really need a new bike.......

Well, of course I don't. I have plenty of bikes, indeed. Two road bikes (winter and race bike), two mountain bikes (one of which is currently on craigslist) and one cyclocross bike. Not to mention the many other decommissioned bikes we've parted out. So, I don't really need a new bike.

But, here is the thing. I really like bikes. And, sometimes when there is a possibility of adding a new bike to your fleet - it gets very exciting. Also - it helps to have a fantastic husband that is completely supportive of any and all bike purchases. (now if I could just get that same response for all my clothing purchases :)

So there you have it. As you have probably guessed, I am getting a new bike. A new cyclocross bike. A Scott Addict.

It is real pretty. I like the extra white touches on the seat post, saddle and stem. That will look fantastic after one muddy race. I've never ridden it nor have I ever seen this year's model in person. But, I am sure it is going to be fantastic because it is light and made of carbon.

I can't wait to race with this bike. I can't wait to roll up to the start line with a shiney new bike. I can't wait to smell that "new bike smell". Maybe when I crash on this bike, it'll hurt less because it is brand new. Better yet, maybe I won't crash at all because my bike will be like a super robot that auto-corrects when I make a mistake on the race course. They have that function in cars, I don't know what is stopping them from adding it to bikes.

Anyhoo, looking forward to a new bike. I think it'll be in next week. Can't wait!!!!!!!!
