So I've been acting like a cyclist this winter and not pedaling much but over the last few weeks I've been ramping up and for some reason been pining for a new bike (a track one at that). Looking through catalogs, sizing, etc. for a week now. I haven't taken my current bike out since this obsession began but I did today.

I will never doubt you again. I had simply forgotten how quick you are, how absolutely perfect for the type and style of riding that I do and how you were perfect for my budget and overall attitude. I had forgotten of the century day and especially the day after when we dropped the hammer hard and almost dropped some folks on fancy carbons. Remember that time we blew that guy on the red bike out twice?

I am loyal to you - you of no back pain somehow. You have the Trek Discovery Team paint on you which throws people off - they don't know they are getting their ass kicked by a 230 pound man on a $699 bike because sometimes - only sometimes - we act much faster, stronger, harder to handle.
