Well, it has been a long time since I posted on here. Several reasons for this. One, I'm lazy. The second reason is that I spent 14 days in Qatar, 10 of them offshore on an oil platform.
Good news: I purchased a 2008 Fuji Newest 3.0 roadbike (Photos coming soon). It was $450 and no tax at Performance Bike. I joined their club for $20 and got $55 off my next purchase, which was a set of SPD pedals. I chose SPD so I could use my existing mountain shoes. Remember, we're saving money here... plus the mountain shoes are convenient because you can actually walk in them from the bike rack to the locker room at work.
I finally got a trip computer for the bike as well. Last week was right at 64 miles, and an average speed of 15.6 MPH. I think I could get it higher if it wasn't for all of the stop-and-go on Gold Coast Drive (many 4-way stops).

Hey Chris, did you put the green goo tape on the inside of the tires to prevent punctures? How does she compare to your speed on the mountain bike?
No green goo yet.
I'm not sure about the actual speed difference because the mountain bike doesn't have a computer, but it is a good 5-10 min difference in commute time. At a 15.7 MPH average, for a 7.9 mile ride (one way) that is 30 min. Math is cool.
