I raced home from work to take my new bike out for a spin. Before departing I decided to lower the seat for my knees were talking to me last night and they were not happy. I'm a toe pointer but did notice this weekend when I was riding my new bike that the toe pointing was exceeding my normal pointing. While riding today, my knees felt much better and my toes were back to a normal point so I'm hoping I have the seat close to where it should be.
I left my home under a thick gray cloud cover and a bit of mist in the air. I had about 60 minutes of daylight left so the ride would be a short one. It was a fun, fast 14 mile ride and the more I ride this bike the more I fall in love with it. I'm amazed at how light it feels and how smooth it is. I'm simply in awe. The headwind coming home was tough but hey I how have 30 gears to chose from and chose I did. I feel like a kid in a candy shop - and I know the entire time I was riding in the wind and rain my spirits were flying and there was a huge smile upon my face. No more outdoor riding for this week - to much to do with the holidays and travel. It was a nice way to start my week.
