5000's in love

WARNING: Before reading this post you should be aware of the following side effects. If you read this post and you get grossed out easily by sappy stories, couples holding hands and the like, it would be in your best interest to close your browser window now. If you continue reading, you may experience side effects like nausea, disgust, bloating, or possibly even death by cuteness. You have been warned.

Wes has been wanting to get a road bike for a while now. He has a bike, but he likes to go fast, so a road bike was just around the corner. He has been admiring them from afar, and he finally even decided to build one of his own. He even found a frame his size and got some good deals on components. BUT THEN...his friend who is on a racing team got a new bike. So lo and behold his friend had a bike to sell. Not only was this bike a very high quality bike. taken very good care of by a racer, exactly Wes' size (which means size ginormus), a really good price...BUT it is EXACTLY the same as the bike Wes and all my friends and family got me for Christmas. Same paint and everything. It was a tough choice...did we want to have matching bikes? Hmmm... Did we want to be one of those super cute couples with matching gear? Well...hmmm.... But the bike was such a good deal, and better than the one he was building that he could hardly say no. So today, Wes took home his Trek 5000. We took some silly photos of our matching bikes together and Wes titled them '5000's in love'.










I hope those of you who read this even after the warning did not experience too many of the side affects I mentioned. And don't worry....Wes drew the line at the bikes...no matching jerseys for us.

    Why stop now? I think matching outfits is a great idea! ;)

    Yes, and you must call them "outfits".

    Not so sure about matching outfits. Ben's Dad and stepmom do that and I must say the effect is a little disconcerting. However, if you're tri-ing on a relay team, they can be referred to as "team jerseys." That would be really cool!

    Yes I have to say that 'team jerseys' are much cooler than 'matching outfits' :)
