It is with joy in my heart and more debt on the plastic that I announce to the world - I got a road bike!!!
My other bike is a mountain bike/cruiser… I added road tires to help increase the speed just a touch. My Cruiser has taken me through 5 sprint-distance triathlons - since I got bit by the tri bug 7 years ago. My big ‘ol cruiser holds a special place in my heart… *kiss, kiss*
However, it is time to move on. To slim down. To get legit. I am planning on biking further, and to haul my cruiser 24+ miles at a time - is just… medieval! I am way too “retro” for “medieval”! It took a little financial creativity, but I worked it out…
Here is my new carbon-vision of all loveliness:
Isn’t she just lovely??? I snuggle her frame, sing her a lullaby, kiss her gear shifters, and air up her adorable skinny little tires before I tucked her into bed at night. *SWOON*
I rode her 20 miles on Saturday and 12 miles this morning. I cut 7.5 minutes of my 12 mile route - all because of this new beauty in my life. I Luh. Her. So. Mauch.
But I would like some input. I have a few names I’ve been tumbling about, but I said to myself, I said, “Jenny, I bet your hot online friends would love to have a say in naming the new love of your life.” Then I said back to myself, “Yeah, Jenny! You’re right! As. Always.”
So here I am - presenting a few options. I was going to try out a poll program from Vizu, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Instead of getting all-fancy, let’s just go “old school” - comments!
Here are your choices in alphabetical order:
- Buffy the Asphalt Slayer
- Butter (because everything is better with butter!)
- Mz. Thang
- Speedy Speederson
- _____?????_____ (if there’s something cooler and edgier - I am open!!!)

Keep up-to-date on the insane, the insightful, and the whatever…
Butter would be good but only if you say it like Mike Myers doing Coffee Talk on SNL. “Butta”
Or how ’bout Phyllis?
I got nothin’ more creative. Caffeine is wearing off and I’m going all snoozy….zzzzzzz.
I’m with Dumblond. Only if it’s said like that!
And wouldn’t that be Speedy McSpeederson?
Or you could just call her Pink.
First off…Cannondale: right on!
Name….hmmmm….wow, guess I’m hurtin’. Maybe sleep might help.
What was your oldie but goodie’s name?
How about “Rose Rider” or “Rhythm in Rose” or just “Rosie” for short. Hey, it rhymes with Nosie, so you can’t go wrong!
I am all for Caroline Josephine. ;)
I drool. Beautiful bike!
I like Butter.
My input is: Fastlikedawind.
Buffy! But Buffy from It’s A Family Affair Buffy…I liked her!
She’s a beaut! xo
I like buffy but here are a few more ideas:
Prince theme: raspberry beret (already mentioned), pink haze, the bicycle forerly known as visa.
or just visa- you know, it takes you everywhere you want to be.
or the spot- as in Jenny on the
I gotta stop myself
It’s amazing
