Look what else I got! Clipless pedals! Woot!
I convinced Dad to come down and ride with me on my 90-minute workout. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and we were able to get out and have a really enjoyable ride. I was nervous about the clipless pedals and thought I was going to crash for sure. Happily, I really enjoyed them! I was surprised and pleased by the difference in how much more power I could get.
At the turnaround point, I noticed something stuck in my front tire......yep, it was a sticker! We discussed what to do and Dad said to leave it in and just keep riding. That's when we noticed another sticker in my back tire and that tire was completely flat. Ugh! Good thing Dad was there to help! So after my first 20 min. ride, the front tire went flat and then after my second ride, the back tire went flat. Geez! Cheap-o tires come from the factory, I guess.
All in all, it was a really pleasant ride along a nice trail that didn't have too many roads to cross. The weather was sunny and cool and we had a great time. The bike felt light and fast and almost like it rode itself. I'm looking forward to next week's ride!
Nice job! I've noticed that it's quite hard to find the time to get those workouts in for you. I really hope I haven't encouraged you to do something that is going to overwhelm you timewise... Ugh...
ReplyDeleteYes, it's proving to be tricky, but I knew it would from the start. I'm gonna have to be creative at times and my not hit every workout, but I'll be ready!
ReplyDeleteOk, good! I have no doubt you'll be ready! You don't do anything half way!
