The stable doubles

Euan said:

Soppy bit out of the way, it's our one year wedding anniversary today.
Yeah, we made it :-D

Now to the fun stuff. Dropped Suzie off at EFM in Burwood where she
scored a lift to the Olympic Dream fun run in the city. I then picked
up a work mate (Paul) and headed in to the city to do some serious
shopping!

Met Vlad at Retro, dragged him along 'cause I know nada about mountain
bikes and he knows lot and is a good chum of Rob at BSC. Started off
getting Paul sorted out who's going to start riding to work from Chelsea
to Burwood up some trails. His starting budget for the bike was 1200.
Not quite sure how he walked out the store with a Cannondale Bad Boy...

Then Suzie rocked along to the party to talk roadie stuff. Not too
clear what Suzie's ending up with but it'll be one of the Caonondale
women specific bikes, probably a R700 or 1000.

Then it was my turn. I'd set myself a 3K budget and want to do enduro,
Rob went straight to a blinged up Rocky Mountain ETSX-50. Don't ask me
what the bling components are, it's all a foreign language to me. I do
know it's 9 speed SRAM and the front fork retails at close to 1K. Took
it for s spin around the block and I was sold! Flung it around corners
and it just...cornered. Damn thing's b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. Can't wait
till it's MINE and I take it for a real workout.

Still sketchy on the details, got to do the whole getting it fitted
thing etc and can't wait.

OK, it's not kids. I'd argue they'll be a heap more fun than kids :-D
Celebrated first year of marriage with slap up feed at Windows on the
Bay then went to watch brother-in-law and his wife open wedding
pressies.

Life doesn't get much better than this :-)

It's really hitting me... I'm massively excited about my new bike and I can't wait to pick it up. Looks like Rob at BSC is getting me a 2005 model Cannondale R500 Feminine in sexy cobalt blue which is very good because it will match my helmet and my other bike. *nods seriously* I trust this man to find me something that will suit me because he didn't look at me and try and put me on a bike with wheels with only 8 spokes or summat else stupid. I've lost weight but gosh, I still have a way to go! Anyway, now I just have to be patient and try and not bore EVERYONE with the tales of my new bike. I think there is a chance even Euan might get bored! 😄

Oh, we had a lovely anniversary. 🙄

Bah, turn up to Goat and talk bike all you like. If one person starts to get
glazed eyes, there'll be plenty of others willing to talk shop *grin*

Now lets see if I can rescue some sleep after being rudely woken up by the elements. And having to babysit a nervous dog & cat. 🙄

'Bore' away, Suze. Now, you need a bigger shed 😄

That storm was a doozy, wasn't it?

I still wish this place had more storms. Nowhere near frequent or
severe enough.

YAY! Looking forward to Goat and talking about MY NEW BIKE! 😄

Damn, looks like I slept through the storm this time - I love the lightning shows.

Given the title to this thread, I should have said "You've set the precedent - double the number of bikes every wedding anniversary. Well done young man."😄

I used to be good at maths.

It looks like Euan and I will be doing more than just talking about our NEW BIKES at Goat... 😄

I just want to know where you want to store those 1024 bikes after 10
years.

Never trust a man who can count to 1,023 on his fingers.

What is most disappoint is that the stable can double with 1 bie, phah,
call yourself a cyclist!

I'm looking to someone giving me a stable doubling 5 bikes as a present!

I work with people who believe that if A doesn't spend $10 million out of his budget and gives it to B who doesn't spend it either, but passes it on to C who spends it, that we have saved $20 million.

Ahhhhhhh <runs from office holding head and screaming>

Never trust a man that could join this club! (I'm sure that's a botsched Groucho Marks quote)
