May 26th 2011 marks a day that I think could be infamous…
The day I purchased and took ownership of my first road bicycle…

I’m super psyched to get into it for fitness, fun and whatever comes along with it, I’m pumped to pedal…

My bike of choice is the Felt Bicycles 2011 Z5, this bike had the components, features and riding style that was recommended to me by a few people…

Felt Bicycle Z5 May 2011

I purchased the bike directly from Felt Bicycles thanks to my friend he hooked it up and sent it to a Felt dealer, My local bike shop I chose was Tempe Bicycles, they’ve been around for year, knowledgeable staff and very accommodating and cool… Plus the guy working on my bike is into drifting and driving himself…

Going clip ins, Speedplay Zero Stainless Steel is what I was told would be good…

She’s home and just waiting for me to get my helmet (of course), ancillary equipment and YES spandex, I’m down and psyched!
Thanks Felt Bicycles, Alan at Felt, Scotty Cranmer for hooking it up and also the guys at Tempe Bicycle Croy, Brad & the gang…
