New (to me) Bike

I've been drooling over road and tri bike porn for a while.  But today I took the plunge.  It was pretty easy as a guy in my tri club put on the list serve that he was selling his Cannondale.  Apparently, he bought it from the club VP a year ago, but it really was too small for him and he was trying to decide if he really wanted to get into road biking (had been a mountain bike guy).  Apparently, its first owner was more my size so this all worked out for me.  While it may not be the end all-be all, it was well within my budget leaving me plenty of room for everything else.  And I liked that it was blue.

You can see he had the seat post jacked all the way up and the handle bars twisted up so I'll have to play with fit once Mr. Allen Wrench (aka my husband) comes home.  I will probably have to spring for a proper fit by a trained pro at a later date.  I also have absolutely no gear to address potential flats so I need to make a minor investment there (not so much of a worry on my knobby mountain bike tires when I mostly go on roads).  I also need the appropriate footwear for these:

Yep, it is time to enter the world of "clipping in" with hopefully minimal face planting.  I may splurge on a new helmet too given I am sure my current helmet is older than both of my children.  Then there is the need to find a very reasonable trainer to put it on when weather isn't cooperative.  And, of course, a carrier for my car so I don't have to listen to the husband grumble when I want to take the truck to haul it around.  But once I get everything all figured out, I'm looking forward to time on this:

YAY!
