The Sweet Life

The photo above is my bike. But it's not the bike I will be riding in the 2009 Hershey's Tour de Pink . Thanks to the awesome sponsors of the ride, including Giant for Women bicycles, I have been outfitted from head to toe with new biking gear. Luxurious Shimano shoes (with clips...more on those later), Giant helmet, gloves, and bike bag, etc. But best of all, I was given a brand new, sized to fit me personally, Giant for Women road bike. She is, without a doubt, a she-beast. I will be featuring her in future posts, but I felt I would be remiss if I did not honor my Dolce. She has been a good friend: My guide and faithful companion at the start of my road biking journey. She is aptly named "La Dolce Vita": The Sweet Life. That name sums it all up for me. That's why I ride. That's why I'm seting out on this crazy adventure. Because for me, it really all is about the sweet life. Salut, Dolce!
