My Introduction to (Insert bike name here).

Thanks to an extremely generous donation from my Aunt Kitty and Uncle Richard, I have officially passed the $1000 fundraising mark! Which means a couple of things: 1. I am well on my way to fulfilling my fundraising total, which is a very comforting thought, and 2. I get to order my new bike! That's right, I get a brand spankin' new bike from Bike & Build just for reaching this milestone! I will receive it in the mail in a couple of weeks, with my first task being to assemble it...which should prove to be interesting. Here's the bike I ordered, in all her (his?) shining glory! (Gender and name TBD).

For anyone who cares to know, it is a Giant Avail 3. And before I get reprimanded for going with the silver/white model (I also had the option of a black and red one, which would show the dirt a lot less, yadda yadda), I just couldn't see myself riding any other bicycle once I had seen this beauty. I'll just add it to my collection of silver bikes, bringing my grand total to 2. Let's just say I'm well on my way to owning the ideal number of bikes (which is n+1, n being equal to the number of bikes you currently own). 

Anyway, super huge shout out to all of my early donors, I can't thank you guys enough! Keep it real. 

Until next time, Marles.
