Carbon, Gears, Alloy, Oh My!!…

Being wicked excited about the Ride:Well Tour 09, today I ventured into two bike shops in Bangor, Maine. This is unexplored territory for me since I bought my current hybrid bike used from a local tour company. I love riding this bike over the hills and threw the trees of Maine! Only in summer though. In the winter I ride the LifeFitness stationary bike at the gym. Not as fun. And for as fast as I go, I never seem to pass the women beside me. These bikes just won’t work for this summer. So as I am exploring these bike shops I am learning so much about bikes. I never knew there were so many options. So if seasoned veterans want to impart any knowledge onto me, it would be greatly appreciated.
