An Extraordinary Machine


cycleBarsYesterday evening, I became the proud owner of a used GT ZR3000:
a glorious concoction of aluminum, rubber and carbon fiber with a glossy blue and white paint job. This is by no means the Ferrari of bicycles, but it is my first serious road bike and it represents many happy miles to come.  I took it out to West Creek last night for a spin and compared to what I had been riding, it was pure bliss.

I’ve been into mountain biking since my high school days, but just started riding on the road over the summer. A couple of buddies had gotten into it and were kind enough to let me tag along.  Turns out, there are a number of really nice areas to ride around Richmond.  It’s an entirely different activity than trail or downhill riding, but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it…

Wanna ride?
