August 4th, 2008

The good:

- I finally got to go for a bit of a ride today - nothing extravagant, just over 18 miles round trip out to my (not so) local bike shop.

- I finally got my new team kit, and if I do say so myself, I'm looking pretty great.

- A 58cm Cannondale should fit me like a glove, if my test ride on a nearly set up bike is any indication.

- I get to move into my new house hopefully some time this week.

- I got word from FedEx today that everything is looking good with my claim, and I should hopefully be getting a check sometime next week.


The bad:

- The bike shop I went to doesn't have any 58cm CAAD9s in stock, and Cannondale is out for the year.

- Cannondale isn't making any white CAAD9s for 2009.

- I really had my heart set on a white CAAD9.

- I still don't have internet or really a place to live that isn't really cramped.

- A few friends are going through some rough times, and there's not much of anything I can do.
