taka decided that she wants to ride the rosarito event in 2 weeks, so we went down to performance bike to buy her some cycling shorts and a jersey. well like all trips to the bike shop, we ended up spending more than we planned. she bought shorts, a jersey, a camel back a more comfy saddle, a bike lock, and i finally broke down and bought the usps edition giro atmos helmet (the same one lance wore when he rode for team usps). it also comes with this awesome hard shell carrying case and portions of the shell are real carbon fiber… my favorite composite material.

i also finally bought the performance membership that they always offer, it gives you 10% back on all purchases, but the membership costs $25. since we spent over $300, that means that the membership payed for itself, plus some, and i’m sure i’ll spend at least that much at the bike shop in the next year.
