This morning we took a not-so-leisurely ride through Irvine. Chris has been biking with some buddies from school and is in good shape. I'm not in great shape at the moment but I've concluded that I have just about the lightest new bicycle on the face of the earth and I was able to (sort of) give him a run for his money. Chris can usually beat me on the downhill but I can sometimes manage to eek out some uphill triumphs.
Here is a picture of my awesome new bike:
