The feeling of accomplishment Priceless

I have to be cost-conscious, as I raised nearly $1,000 for the Ms150, but spent more than in prep and gear... the stuff adds up!

  1. You could always tell him about the future uses for the equipment - and future races you'd like to do... so the financing is for more than one activity. :-)

    I love that you call him your DFO!!

The bike is a dark burgundy with lighter burgundy zebra strips across the main tube. Very nice design... almost always received at least one, "that's a sexy bike!" at a ride. :) I am between 5'5" and 5'6" in height.
