At long last.

I finally bought a new bike. I wound up with a hybrid - a Raleigh Passage 4.5, and it's sweet as all hell. I couldn't be more pleased with it.

I will also say this: I am wildly impressed with the staff at Valencia Cyclery. Everyone I talked to was really knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and most importantly, helpful. Unless you already swear your allegiance to another shop - help these folks out. They are still independently owned, which is great to know as well.

I've got plenty of other musings about life as well as more recommendations about all sorts of stuff, but I have a very early morning ahead of me, and I need to get some shut-eye.

Until tomorrow.
