Before and after shots

That's me in my new Trek outfit. We have Robin, Darin's mom, to thank for this snazzy new outfit. Notice the pageantry pose where I'm twisted at the waist to make my torso seem lean and flaring out to accentuate the nice wide shoulders.

And special thanks to my sister, Armi, for the snazzy socks so that I was perfectly matched for this bike ride. Now I just need to figure out how to make my bike match.

Since I'm giving out thanks, I should also thank Stan, Darin's uncle, for lending me his bike to train and ride for ALC10. It has treated me well so far.

Here are the after pictures:

Though I did mention in my previous post that I felt pretty good after my ride, I felt that I needed a little congratulatory meal. Pizza and beer. I have to replenish those nutrients I just lost, right? Now I don't want anyone to say that beer has no nutrients. It's made of barley or wheat, or some thing like that. Though if I really had a choice, my congratulatory meal would have been ice cream. I'll have to remember t stock up on ice cream before I leave for a ride. :)
