Leila Gets Legit


Thats right, I got a new helmet!My dad sent me a Louis Garneau helmet for my birthday. This is good for two reasons; 1) because I'm sure this helmet meets the requirements of the race 2) I know my head will be well protected. I believe I picked out my last helmet (for my trail bike) by uttering the ohh so frightening words "Whats the cheapest one you've got".

I've been sick so I've missed most of my training this week. I'm up early this morning, feeling much better, and ready for my first group ride. It's a ride through the west part of the city. Unfortunately it's not very hilly because its a beginners ride. I don't think I'm limited to the speed or distance of a beginner but I have no group ride experience so I still think beginner is the place for me. I'm hoping I do well enough to move to the intermediate ride next week.

On a final note, Hurrah for Sarah who is my only comment poster. For all I know she is my only blog ready as well. Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, rants, and raves. Click on the work "comments" at the bottom of each post if you would like to leave a thought.

Thanks for posting the picture, Leila. I had no idea whether the helmet fit OK or not. It looks great!
