We're a biking team

This past Saturday, Jacqui got herself a new bike. She wrote about our trip to the Village Cycle Shop in Old Town and her new bike, a Gary Fisher Wingra.

While there, I picked up a wireless bike computer, because, well, I’ve wanted one for a while and VCS was having a Spring super sale.

When I got it home, it was missing a piece. I got the piece replaced today after work and got it all hooked up.

Only problem? The damn thing doesn’t work! I’ve tried aligning the magnet in a billion different ways, moving the sensor up and down the fork, everything. The stupid thing is busted. Now I’m going to have to stop by again and get a new one.

The coolest thing about the both of us having bike now, is that we can run errands together and get a workout at the same time. After I failed to install this computer, we took a ride to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to grab sheets for our new king bed mattress that’s arriving tomorrow.

We also went to Trader Joe’s and picked up a pound of amazing bacon for dinner. What did we make? Bacon wrapped shrip and eggplant salad:

The shimp is pretty straight forward, but the eggplant was sliced, covered in olive oil, grilled, and mixed with balsamic vinegar, pine nuts, goat cheese and mixed together into a pseudo-mush. It was delicious!
